Star in august

I tried taking a photo of this Japanese aneneme the other day but it was so windy I was just getting a lot of blurred images. Today is really still so I had another go. I've got the white variety too - both were hidden under the gloom of the overgrown budleia when we arrived but I make sure they have a bit more light these days and every year they beef up a little more. I like seeing them flower but it does always feel like the end of the season. They seem to be the freshest thing around at this time of year.
