One of the first things I planted in my garden was Anemone Blanda. I just love the glowing blue and they flower so early. I bought 50 corms and in the first spring they produced single flowers. They were there, beautiful, but I had to look for them.
In the last week or so, they have become to appear. And I took this photograph an hour ago. (And it was very cold out there!)
