'dem cottonfields back home....

This plant is a Japanese anemone and this is what I"ve learnt:
"Occasionally they are called windflower, because they resemble clouds of flower stalks being tossed gently in an autumn breeze, an irresistible sight. ... But if you're lucky and you have a long autumn they will go to seed and release a fluffy pod of seeds that resemble cotton"
This is natural colour but appears to be just sepia!

Thankful for;
A new experience in our garden!

Nice textures and information

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Those speckles will be seeds and maybe I will have a few more Japanese Anenome's growing!

Your picture reminds you of the coming fall

[Maggiemae]

@haskar Hey -its coming up Spring here - these seeds are in the right place!

[haskar]

@maggiemae Oh, it reminds me of autumn because we have more and more of it. But after winter dormancy, this is what the seeds look like in spring. I wish you a beautiful spring!

[Maggiemae]

@haskar Thank you! I paid $NZ15 for one plant here - maybe I might get more for absolutely nothing!
