Wind flowers 'Konigin Charlotte'

These plants feature beautiful pink flowers on thin stems and grow in clumps. They are a popular fall bloomer in gardens due to their color. The name means 'Queen Charlotte' in German.

Grape leaf anemone
Grape leaf anemone (Eriocapitella vitifolia) is an attractive flower that originated in the Himalayas. Though it is not quite commonly cultivated in the garden, its hybrid with Japanese anemone is a popular garden plant. It’s also called the grape-leafed windflower, because “Anemone” comes from the Greek word “Anemoi,” which means “winds.”

Himalayan windflower is a clustered perennial plant native to South Asia. It has distinct white flowers with violet-blue anthers on the petals, and this contrasting color combination is rather unique. This flowering plant is a common feature in cottage gardens.
