The first Japanese anemone to flower in this garden.These little poppies are not popular with some as they spread so quickly.
They bloom early, however, when there is little else about for the bumbles and have a permanent population of small hoverflies, so they are welcome to stay in this garden.I have posted pics of the bidens golden star
and calendula
before but they are so bright and cheerful on a dull wet day that they deserve a second showing. I like the bidens in particular, they are such hard working plants. They flowered before the surfinias and fuschias had even thought to put out buds and just keep on going. I wonder if next year, at the front, I should do mixed troughs of bidens with the blue pansies, which seem to have a similar work ethic?
