Perki - I have that same anemone as AuntyR - it's lovely - a semi double so the bees etc can still access it.
Slightly shorter than Honorine Joubert which is the most common of the whites. I've got a few seedlings which are opeing now, and they look exactly the same as the parent which is quite nice. They're not troublesome here - I think soil type and conditions make a big difference. I have mine in a narrow shady border which I see from the kitchen and it's a little splash of light on a dull day
Those are lovely Giddy. I'm not a rose fan, although I love those crimped and crinkled double ones, but your photos are really beautiful. They all look very healthy too
I have a dwarf Gaultheria which is slightly confused. Foliage colouring up as usual, but flowering as though it's spring
Must take a look at Berghill's plot now...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I also have a Japanese anemone 'Whirlwind' (planted in autumn 2014) and this year it has grown up to 2 metres high! It's shaded under a pergola and has almost reached the pergola top. It has only just started to flower but looks very - er - promising. More at http://www.rezeau.org/wp-garden/en/anemone-x-whirlwind-2/
Which species is your Gaultheria? Does it get fruit?
I'm surprised at that PapiJo - but again, just shows that plants don't read the instructions! I think your climate will have a big influence too . Mine is a few years old also, and gets to about 3 feet or so (90 cm) at most. I really like it - would also be useful for me if it got to the height yours does. Loads of places I could use it!
It's G.procumbens. The little flowers - identical to Pieris - become little red berries, normally mid to late autumn. This pic was late October last year. The birds don't seem to eat them though - but that might be becasue there are so many others for them in the garden

Anemone 'Whirlwind' just opening.
I know some aren't fond of Anemones, but I love mine - and the slug-proof-ness gives them extra marks.
Some of the roses.
See if this still works.

Beautiful roses Giddy
I like your Japanese Anemone's I not seen many doubles.
Looks like a full time job just maintaining the lawns Berghill let alone all your lovely plants.
Impressive Joyce I wish mine ginger lily come to.
Berghill - thanks for the the garden tour
Lovely splashes of colour.
Lovely roses, Giddy, love the light on them.
It still works Berghill, my Laptop is being efficient this morning! Your garden is still gorgeous.
