Book Description
Anemones are flowers belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, and the term "anemone growing" is commonly used to describe their cultivation and maintenance. The colorful and delicate blossoms of the anemone are a favorite among gardeners. The word "anemone growing" refers to a wide range of tasks involving the propagation of these flowers. - When planting anemones, care must be taken to select a spot with the appropriate soil and environmental conditions. Bulbs, corms, and seeds are all viable options for propagating anemones. - Growing anemones successfully requires well-drained soil with a high organic matter concentration. - Anemones like damp soil that is never allowed to become soggy. They can't flourish and grow without regular, sufficient irrigation. - Anemones need sun, but the amount varies greatly from species to species. Different plants respond differently to different amounts of light. - Fertilization: Providing the right nutrients, usually with a balanced flower fertilizer, can help anemones thrive. - Deadheading (the removal of old blooms) is a form of pruning that can stimulate new flower growth and lengthen the flowering period. - Controlling pests and illnesses involves keeping a close eye out for the most common threats to anemones and then acting accordingly to keep them at bay. - Anemones, depending on their species, may need to be overwintered in a certain way to assure their survival and continued blooming the following spring. The term "anemone growing" can mean either the hobbyist or commercial cultivation of anemone flowers for their widespread use in the floral and landscaping industries. It is important to do research on the specific type of anemone you are growing, as different species may have different needs.

Book Description
Author Dr. William Allan Plummers interest in nature was stimulated one winter by the sight of snowbirds, slate-colored juncos, in the familys backyard in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. That same spring, he spotted the yellow-bellied sapsucker during its migration, and he was hooked. In Fronds and Anemones, he offers a collection of nature-based essays and articles, most of which appeared in the quarterly newsletter, Screeches, of Spencer Crest Nature Center, as well as in several other publications. Fronds and Anemones begins with Plummers accounts of bird watching as a Boy Scout and then spreads to a love of native plants. This interest continued and increased when he bought a wooded lot on which to build their home, and he describes the evolution of the garden and the gardener. He covers a plethora of subjectsfrom ferns, to native wildflowers, to the shrubs and trees on his lot, the vagaries of weather, shade gardening, building paths and stone walls, and trips to natural areas and gardens. Concluding with a collection of garden quotes, Fronds and Anemones presents a varied look at plants, birds, and gardens and addresses a host of topics of interest to gardeners and nature enthusiasts.
