But the subject of flowers that grow well through grass is a large one.

It is one also on which the members of our Parkinson Society would do kindly to give us any exceptional experiences, especially in reference to flowers which not only flourish among grass, but do not resent being mown down.

The lovely blue windflower (_Anemone Apennina_) is, I believe, one of these.
There is no doubt that now and then plants prefer to meet with a little resistance, and despise a bed that is made too comfortable.
Self-sown ones often come up much more vigorously through the hard path than when the seed has fallen within the border.

The way to grow the parsley fern is said to be to clap a good big stone on his crown very early in the spring, and let him struggle out at all corners from underneath it.

It is undoubtedly a comfort to rock-plants and creeping things to be planted with a stone over their feet to keep them cool! Which reminds me of stones for bordering.
