Still got a couple of blooms, amazing. Nov 9
Poppy Anemone, Zone 8. Grow them every year as annuals & they bloom until about - 15C
November Blooms in Calgary??
Here's a Snapdragon...hopefully there will be volunteers next spring
Wow, amazing, I really like that Poppy Anemone, do you do the botanical name?
I usually buy a mixed bag of 100 from Costco for $12 in the fall & store them overwinter in a heated garage. They didn't have them this year, so I'm hoping to see them in the spring. They are available @ all the garden centres in the spring, but usually run about 15 for $7.
Anemone coronaria
The one in the picture is Mr. Fokker
Umm Jo, I have 40 you can have for free.
I have been sort of collecting them; I buy a bag or two every time I go to Co-op 'cuz they're on sale ....now I have a few too many. LOL.

Wow those anemones are new to me. I love it! Must look for them. Are they stil at coop Joanne?

Our Co-op (West Springs) still had them tonight; I picked up more...
$2.49 on sale for 20 bulbs.
Joanne,
I'm interested in any that you have to spare. Picked up a few other less than hardy bulbs that we may be able to swap.
The anemones look best planted in a group of about 5 or so for a clump look.
Thanks for the name, Veseys have them on sale for 1/2 price, but I've already received my order a week ago. Dang, next year, I'll have to look for them.
