[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Japanese Anemone
Scientific Name Anemone X hybrida

This is the first of my Japanese Anemones to open this year – which is quite sad, because that means that summer is coming to an end. These flowers bloom from late summer to autumn.

The term Japanese anemones, is loosely applied to a collection of anemones, many of which have never had any association at all with Japan. I love white flowers and this one especially because as soon as blossoms fade, they drop to the ground leaving behind a globe-shaped seed head. Withering or browning flowers are nowhere to be seen amongst newly opened blossoms.

Very nice macro shot Janice. Very well executed. It might be better if it wasn't so perfectly centered however. I think a slight angle would give it more depth, definition and drama. For what it's worth . . .

Beautiful Shot Janice!! The colours are perfect. Good details and textures too. The backgroung colors are wonderful also. THe flower is very central in the photo, but it's still great!!
Too bad that it's a flower from late summer ;-) Here the spring flowers are starting to show...
Good informative note as always.
Well done.

Hi Janice...Beautiful Macro. DOF is perfect. Perfection in the white color and contrast...
Too bad you have to say goodbye to summer. What is fall and winter season like for you? You have become quite an assest to Treklens. Congrats!......:O)

Hi Janice,
Nice shot, well composed, lovely colours. As for the end of the summer over there I can say GREAT because now it will be our turn to enjoy it for a while :)))
cheers

Wonderful photo! Beautyful picture.

Your garden must be lovely Janice. Thank you for sharing this beautiful flower. Sad for you summer is ending, happy for me it's just beginning. Although we've had our usual March rainfall in just one week! Best wishes for your upcoming winter. The photo should remind you of a warmer time.
