I'm Lusting After Japanese Anemone



Well I've awaken from the dead. Or a bad case of food poison; take your pick. It was like death warmed over. The only thing that's made me happy today is to think about tomorrow when I will return to work and be able to stare at the bountiful rows of Japanese Anemones that are growing in my bosses back yard.

To say that the Japanese Anemone is one of the best fall flowers would be an understatement-it is the best. Here is a plant and flower with real charm, refinement, and sophistication.

While I would love to show you some fab floral arrangements of this flower, no floral designer dares to put them in their arrangements; because they wont last. Unless your a daredevil like my boss and grow them yourself, cut them and put them directly into an arrangement.

I will try to get some pics of the Japanese Anemones that we are doing at the French Laundry; but for now pare this with hot, and cool pinks along with some dusty miller if your dark like me. Or alone for the most impact.

FYI: My favorit part of the Japanese Anemone isnt the flower, but the little buds before they pop; so modern and fresh.
