anemone blanda

One of the ramblers brought Ray some anemones for our garden. They also have an informal book sharing scheme within the ramblers' group.
Ray led the ramble at Portchester this Wednesday: 5 miles, 42 people - and a dog! (not Jinks).

I find it more purple than blue but I think those two colours are difficult - especially for cameras - my Panasonic would actually reproduce it more blue than this!
