More resilience in the garden I forgot about...

In my round up off plants which have survived well during the summer, I totally forgot to mention these.  They are Japanese anemone Bressingham Glow and just behind you can see the lovely variegated jasmine, Jasminium officinale Argentovariegatum/Variegatum. This plant rarely gets a mention but has been a stalwart of the border for many years and flowered beautifully this year.
These plants got no extra water at all and are in a sunny, south facing, dry raised border.
A very colourful combination to enjoy!

    1. Thanks, Lulu. I thought that japanese anemones liked some moisture, but this one is in a rubbish piece of border and is swamped by the jasmine every year. It is still flowering away and looking lovely.
