Common Bluebell
In the language of flowers, the bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude, and everlasting love. Bluebells are often called fairy flowers. Some people believe that the dainty petals form perfect fairy hats, others that they are fairy thimbles, or that fairies climb inside the bells to shelter from the rain.

Japanese Anemone
Japanese anemones, also known as windflowers, add a timeless grace to any late-summer or fall garden with their beautiful, nodding blooms on long, wiry stems. The foliage isn’t particularly interesting, but the flowers fill the midsummer-to-fall gap in gardens, appearing when few other perennials bloom. These perennials come in many shades of whites and pinks, with petals ranging from single rows to frilly doubles.
