Anemone sylvestris, also known as windflowers, are blooming a second time after the first spent blooms were removed. These perennials thrive in sunny locations with at least four hours of direct sunlight and moist soil. One anemone plant produced an unusual bloom with a fluffy white center, prompting the author to try and reproduce it from seed. The author plans to relocate her anemone plants to a sunnier location for better growth.

Daffodils come in a variety of colors and bloom times, extending their presence in gardens. Stray daffodil bulbs can bloom even when planted amongst different varieties, sometimes creating mixed clumps. Digging and separating daffodil bulbs while in bloom helps maintain desired varieties. Identifying and labeling daffodils is important for exhibitions and sharing information with other gardeners. We have had some spectacular spring days. The daffodils are still blooming their heads off.
