White Anemone , Daffodil Reversion, Wild Woodland Flowers, Vinca

A nice little clump of white anemone blanda. They are sports of the purple variety that I have elsewhere.


Very delicate and pretty with the yellow stamens and lime green center.


These daffodils and the orange and white one below have reverted back to different form.  The creamy ones used to have a yellow trumpet and the orange one comes from a double daffodil that has an orange and yellow frilly center.  
I like the orange and white.  Perhaps I will buy some that are sold in this colour scheme.


This small daffodil was always bright yellow and will stay that way as yellow is a basic daffodil colour.


I thought this arrangement of wildflowers was fun.  Dogtooth violets, red trilliums and white trilliums all in the same view.  The red trillium petals are quite chewed which is unusual but it's still colourful.


The vinca (periwinkle) is blooming a bit.  Mine is a variegated-leaf variety which is not quite as vigorous as the plain leaf one.  Vinca can be an aggressive spreader but I have it planted between the house and a path so it is confined. It's helping to cover a dry shady area.

  1. Periwinkle seems to be doing well growing in the wild here this spring. I agree with you about the attractiveness of the orange and white daffodil.
