Anemone question

Post by lessa's dh »

I have been semi-busy cleaning up the beds for winter and here I find 1 plant still flowering merrily away.
NOW - being that it is the 24th of November (happy Turkey day to all of our American friends) and it being CANADA - this has to be the toughest anemone I have seen yet.
The question I have is -- does anyone know what it is?
Personally, I think it's Mona Lisa Red.
But really - I just had to share this late late bloom!

Beautiful, whatever the name is. I noted that some of ours were trying to pop up again along with the Helleborus. I have a Helleborus that bloomed all summer??

That Old Coot name John Loves anemonae. He has some in his front yard that are the first to bloom, followed by, the Daffodills and Tulips Coot :D :D :D
