CANADA ANEMONE

A member of the Buttercup Family - Ranunculaceae

Canada Anemone
Anemone canadensis

My brother brought this into the house asking what it was. I had a good opportunity to take a photo without wind. They do like sunshine. They form large colonies along roadsides (bush roads).

20 - 70 cm tall
flowers 2.5 - 4cm
Anemones may irritate the skin.

These three photos were taken in the mid 1990's along an old logging road.
 You can see that they thin out as they go deeper into the second growth poplar and elders.
 But they do seem to "glow-in-the-dark".
