Little blue flower


The German Romantic writer Novalis went on and on about the little blue flower. It was a symbol for him of ... something or other. At any rate, I have a few at my doorstep, and the first bloom appeared today. Now what is that name? Anemone blanda.

  1. Gorgeous photograph! Is that also called windflower? I saw one across the street last week. They are early flowers. So lovely.

    Thank you for sharing this.

  2. Yes,I saw it called windflower somewhere; supposed to bloom after it's been windy. As It was here the last few days.

  3. Lovely, and should I say romantic? I love blue flowers, unfortunately true blue flowers are as elusive as romance can be.
