I planted your anemone and ranunculus mix in my fall-planted flower bed but we have had a relatively warm winter in southeast Virginia. On New Year’s Day, my husband came in from outside and said “your crocus is blooming!” And I was pleased but not surprised since they can be winter blooming, but when I went out I was shocked and so excited to see this gorgeous anemone!

We’ve faced some deeply personal challenges lately and it reminded me that all things bloom in their own time, sometimes when you least expect it.
