Crazy in love with Japanese anemones
I wonder why Ogden Nash never wrote a poem about Japanese anemones? The words roll trippingly off the tongue and suggest all kinds of delicious rhymes:Japanese anemones.
See them dancing in the breeze.
They're my favorite late-summer flowers. Their strong, graceful stems rise high over lovely mounds of foliage to offer up unscented, nearly translucent flowers featuring adorable green-ball centers surrounded by egg-yolk-yellow ruffs. I mean, just look at this beauty:
I must plant some more of these
Japanese anemones.
The whites are charming, but I think
I should also have some pink.
