Description
One of the first wild flowers to appear in the spring is the wood anemone. They are native to Europe although I had never seen or heard of them before I moved to Sweden. Apparently, they come in several colours, but the only two colours I have seen are white and blue. The white version is most common and these ones are part of a large patch growing in my garden. The blue wood anemone seems to hold itself more to woodland as it's name suggests, but the white anemone can been seen just about everywhere. Wood anemones are a perennial which spreads itself by underground rhizomes instead of seeds which is why it grows in clumps and after many years can carpet large areas. During the summer, the leaves die back and the plant becomes dormant until next spring. That's why I welcome them growing in my lawn.
