Tall Anemone (Anemone virginiana) is beginning to bloom right now, along the trails and also the ones that have volunteered in my gardens. It’s a herbaceous perennial in the Buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. Native to central and eastern US and to Canada as well.

The seedhead, just beginning to form, in the upper left of this image, becomes a cottony thimble shape that persists into spring providing nesting material for birds.

This Anemone is resistant to roaming deer and rabbits, which is a definite plus in my book.
