Meet my anemones.

These lovely little flowers bloom outside my kitchen window beneath a transplanted gooseberry bush. I’m pleased beyond belief with them.

Allegedly, they can be invasive in some climates, but I doubt that is likely here, especially given our three months of dry summer. Still, I hope these tiny beauties thrive despite our impending drought, because look at them!

Such cute and cheerful wind flowers, perfect for hiding the prickly baldness of the gooseberry’s bottom stems, if only they will spread.
