 Happy Monday and happy new week!  Hope this one is better than the last.  Anyway, I recently bought this flower to put in my garden but we had been having some pretty cold nights so I had it in the house.  This is an Anemone that I photographed against a wall that I really liked how it came out.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  I am going to do something a bit different today and share a Minnesota wildflower.  I was recently up there and visited my favorite place to go, Tamarac Wildlife Refuge.  Growing along the road were a large number of Wood Anemone flowers.  Here is a closeup of one of the blooms and a bud.

Last year I had a lovely Anemone.  It bloomed very prettily and then was eaten to the ground by something, most likely a rabbit.  So, for now I just have the photos of it's lovely flower.  I wanted to buy another for this year but didn't see one.  This is a macro image of one of the flowers it produced.

Happy May Day!  April seemed like a long month.  I have shared a close up of this flower earlier this spring.  This is more of what the plant looks like and several flowers in bloom.  These are Anemone and they really open up when it gets fairly warm out.  The bokeh was great in this image so it had to be a Friday photo because Fridays Are Bokehlicious!

It was supposed to get right to freezing on Thursday night and Friday even lower.  I will have to protect this and cross my fingers that it survives.  This is an Anemone that I bought recently and figured it was better off in the ground than drying out in a pot.  Not so sure now with the temps.  Of course this image has some lovely bokeh to it because Friday's Are Bokehlicious and TGIF!

I bought this lovely flower plant at Home Depot the other day.  I need to find a good spot for it.  It's called an Anemone and has a beautiful flower similar to a Poppy.  I loved the rich color of it.  I couldn't resist taking a photo of the flower before I even got it in the ground.  I also loved the bokeh that it's leaves produced.  Fridays are still Bokehlicious!

The yoyo has gone back up the string today and it's 50-ish.  Just crazy.  What we really need is some good moisture.  Anyway, found this image in the archives while getting some photos ready to back up.  This is a lovely Anemone that I shot a fairly extreme macro of.
