New Outdoor Blooms

From mid-August on, my garden is on the decline.

So I'm happy to see this new flower begin to bloom...

It's called "Anemone tormentosa" or Windflower "robustissima."

Its leaves have been growing and spreading all summer. Finally the flowers have appeared.

(I may have to divide it once its blooming season is over... that and the cheerful nearby Browned-eyed Susans...)

That's the cycle of a perennial garden: plant, enjoy, divide... Plant again!
