Thank you for your kind comments as always. I do hope to visit your blog soon as well as other blogs I used to read but unfortunately I've been quite busy tending to the affairs of elderly parents. Perhaps in a month or so. The are a very nice summer to fall transition flower.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>------------------------------------<BR/>Hi Jan,<BR/>You are in the same zone 8 as Aunt Debbi. They say anemones grow in zones 4-8 so you may be able to grow them. I would try a vigorous cultivar if you wish to try them.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-59886145665296482712008-09-20T10:37:00.000-07:002008-09-20T10:37:00.000-07:00Your fall anemones are quite lovely.

I don't think they would do well this far south, but I would like to have more fall bloomers.<BR/><BR/>Jan<BR/>Always GrowingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-45432804519475244682008-09-19T15:45:00.000-07:002008-09-19T15:45:00.000-07:00What a great collection.

The anemones sure look like they have petals but I believe you. Thanks for the info.<BR/><BR/>Ahhh, now I remember...it was in reference to anemones, A. nemorosa in particular. The back of the flower doesn't have the usual sepal if I remember correctly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-15783168211274240572008-09-16T10:43:00.000-07:002008-09-16T10:43:00.000-07:00Hiya Ki,You probably know this already, but I only...Hiya Ki,<BR/><BR/>You probably know this already, but I only just read it:<BR/><BR/>Anemones do not have <B>petals</B> or <B>sepals</B>.

Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>-------------------------------------<BR/>Hi Aunt Debbi/Kurt's Mom,<BR/>Anemones grow in zones 4 to 8 so you are at the top end of the scale. If you try one, I would suggest Anemone tomentosa 'Robustissima' or A. 'Honorine Jobert' which are vigorous plants. They do best in part shade but in Texas I would plant them in shade with perhaps morning or late afternoon sun. They also require a fair amount of moisture so be sure to water them well. The flower stalks will tell you if the plant needs water in the blooming stage - they will wilt but recover quickly with watering.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-77568528951789694942008-09-15T22:45:00.000-07:002008-09-15T22:45:00.000-07:00How pretty.
