In the cemetery, this sweet sort of little alpine meadow has appeared by one of the trees, surrounded by flowers I'd seen before but had never before bothered to identify properly. I just thought they were some kind of cornflower.
Well, on closer inspection, and the help of my Flora Incognita app, I was able to identify them as a balkan anemone, a species not native here and so either seeded here, or an escapee from a nearby garden.
It doesn't really matter, as they are very pretty. Although I did notice that the bees ignored them, preferring to concentrate on the glory of the snows mixed in with them.
A small area, but a beautiful one.
