Anemone Hupehensis var. japonica 'Dreaming Swan'

I'm so pleased to see this again. I had worried that it would be too shady but it seems very happy, If a little shy.

I always think of you Suzanne whenever I post a photo of a #shadeloving plant, so here's another @suzyw

Not jealous at all Jacqueline. Mine have had buds for ages now but they don't seem to want to open. 😠😠😠

Just means you can enjoy them for longer Jane 😊 @pelly

I remember waiting for them last year Jacqueline, and they were an absolute delight. I love them. 😍😍😍

And all the more lovely for having to wait I'm sure 😊 @pelly

Without doubt the most beautiful of the Japanese anemone mine is as sublime as your beauty 😍

It is gorgeous isn't it Sam. I can't wait for it to bulk up a bit so I can split it & #spreadthelove @icedance

So beautiful 💜 wish I hadn't killed mine with weedkiller...🙄

😲 Oh no! How... No I won't ask. It will be too painful to tell I'm sure. @rachelbrooks

Think I might need this variety to add variety 😜 xx

It's alright...I've got over it (she says through gritted teeth 😬) I was trying to eradicate ground elder that was popping up everywhere and I'd painted some systemic on the back of the leaves - obviously too much as it must've gone into the soil and my White Swan was the nearest plant 😏 as soon as i noticed i dug it up, cleaned all the soil and rinsed the roots and put her in a pot, but she didn't make it...😔 I will get another, one day 💜 on the plus side...I've had no more ground elder!

Love the way the purple just shows through from the back on this Japanese #anemone

Lovely 📸👏💕

Thanks @pauline33 I'm really pleased with it as thought it might be a bit too shady. The purple buds are beautiful too 💜

Just beautiful 😀🌿💗

Thank you @plants
