The Japanese anemone is one of the garden plants that signifies the end of summer – but does so in a way that spectacularly celebrates the season, even as it nears its final days. The flowers seen here set the stage for our recap of my Boston birthday weekend, which begins on the blog tomorrow.
Flowers that come into bloom at this late stage of the year are especially precious. Most of us have given up on the gardens at this point – the ferns are largely browned and withered, the cup plant is leaning out of its roped support structure, and only the later hydrangeas and seven sons flower tree are still putting on a show. The Japanese anemone is an important part of keeping the garden going through to the fall.
