Re: Questions

     Doreen,
     
     I think its because Japanese Anemones like moist well drained soil at 
     their roots.  The buds do seem to be there for a while before they 
     open, but four weeks seems a lot.
     
     If the drought means that there's not much you can do, don't panic, 
     these are pretty sturdy plants, they recover well.  I transplanted 
     them at the wrong time of year with little help, stood on some of mine 
     & dragged heavy filled pots over them (all accidental) and forced them 
     to compete with my rhubarb for light & this year, they have given a 
     spectacular display.  (sorry to rub it in).
     
     maybe some water directly to the roots would help.
     
     Good luck
     
     Karen in Cheshire

Does anyone know why my flower buds are not opening? I have what I think is 
called "honorine Jobert" with many buds for probably four weeks and they 
haven't shown any signs of opening.
     
Of course, we are victims of the drought.
