Anemones continue to be my favorite fall flower. These are from the ‘secret garden’ tucked into a courtyard near the Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory on the south side of the Plant Science building at Cornell. Click images larger views.

Favorite fall flower: Anemones
A friend just gave me some anemones this week. I can’t wait till next year, when they have a chance at looking more like your pictures.
I quite agree that this anemones are gorgeous. I have some this year. These are the first I have been successful in growing. I have tried them in several places in the garden but they took in this particular spot.
Your photos, as usual, are gorgeous.
I’m not having great success, but the plants are new and they’re alive.
Thanks all for the kind words. I think it takes anemones a couple years to settle in. (And in my case, to not pull them out thinking they’re weeds.) But they’re worth the wait.
Thanks for more pics of these beauties! They’re my fall favorite, too. I hope that mine do well enough in the coming year to flower next fall. I’ve got some out in the sun and some in part shade, so we’ll see what they like. If they fail, I’ll always have Cornell’s!
Dear Craig,
These were so easy to grow back in Kentucky…oh me, still, after nine years, having a hard time making peace with Zone 8b or whatever this inferno may be called by USDA.
I make do with ranunculus in the spring but these windflowers are much missed. I like how one of your photos captures their leaning.
Happy fall
