Description
Anemone De Caen
I am SO pleased that this year I have managed to grow these!
Previous attempts to get them going in the ground have failed, so this time I planted the corms in containers and the mice didn't find them.

This is gorgeous. I am so glad you were able to grow these beauties....and share it with us.
Love it Andrea. Perfect focus and sharpness.
Very nice. I didn't notice the ant until I zooooomed!
I just love the colour!!
Wonderful color, light, detail & DOF...

So Gorgeous
WOW! What an adorable anemone. Love the colors of it and the center is awesome. The little ant is quit cute in this environment :-)
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
A pleasure for the eyes. Wonderful shot!
Incredible detail in this gorgeous purple flower !
Great shot and a beautiful colour.
Excellent shots of a beautiful flower and wonderfully vibrant colour too.
Love it! I have never had luck with these. Enjoy them! The shot is stupendous! The center of this bloom is just mind blowingly clear and so pretty!
Overwhelmingly and utterly spectacular.
Wow. What an absolutely breathtaking shot! You really nailed this one!
Love the colour of these Andrea! Super pic.
Gorgeous! I always grew them in containers, but only because I wanted them up on the patio where I could see them every day. I guess that was a lucky choice! :) Since I'm now ONLY doing container gardening, and since anemone is deer resistant, I'll have to remember to get some going when we get back home. They're SUCH a treat!
I'm skipping, Andrea, because I'm only here for a few days and I just want to get a broad swath. This is exceptional, as is the flickr version: Yes, the flickr has a much more dramatic background, it's beautiful. This one has that bold red flower in the background, and another anemone on the left; and you've postworked it not just for bokeh, but for glass like textures, with all that distorted light that stained glass gives. Then that flower...it's so bold and visceral! And your shadow is very dramatic, set off by the acute detail of the stamens (and center in general). And the veins are so clear. And the ant is perfect there, the one visitor to the whole scene: He's set off beautifully. Did you know that "anemone" means "daughter of the wind" in Greek? I'm not sure that has anything to do with this shot, but it's a beautiful meaning. (I'm wondering if the "anem-" root is similar to the root for "anime," since that originally had to do with breath or spirit. Of no matter here, but I just loved the meaning...) This is a beautiful shot, in our faces and so articulate and clear! Both are. Beautiful work, Andrea.
Both captures are spectacular and my favorite color. Lovely veining in both also!
beautiful flower and colors, great details!
