Anemone nemorosa is an early-spring flowering plant in the Genus Anemone in the family Ranunculaceae. Common names include wood anemone, windflower, European thimbleweed and smell fox. They are perennial herbaceous plants, growing in early spring from 5 to 15 cm tall. Plants start blooming soon after the foliage emerges from the ground, with the leaves parted into three segments and the flowers produced in the middle of the foliage on short stems above the foliage with one flower per stem. The plants grow from underground stems called rhizomes. The plants die back down to the root-like rhizomes by mid summer (summer dormant). The rhizomes spread just below the soil surface, forming long spreading clumps that grow quickly, contributing to its rapid spread in woodland conditions, where they often carpet large areas.

The flower is 2 cm diameter, with six or seven petal-like segments (actually tepals) with many stamens. In the wild the flowers are usually white, but may be pinkish, lilac or blue, and often have a darker tint to the back of the 'petals'. The flowers lack both fragrance and nectar and it has been suggested by some authors that they are primarily self-pollinated, but it has also been demonstrated that they are pollinated by bees and other insects that visit the flowers to collect pollen (Shirreffs 1985).

The plant has poisonous chemicals that are toxic to animals including humans, but it has also been used as a medicine. All parts of the plant contain protoanemonin, which can cause severe skin and gastrointestinal irritation.

Buna Oana,

Imi place fotografia ta cu Floarea Pastelui. Calitatea imaginii este buna fiind data de claritatea ridicata ce permite observarea detaliilor florii si de modul corect de a folosi lumina existenta.

Toate cele bune,
Cristian

Hello Oana,

I like this image very much. Excellent colours and very nice background. Very well done. White flowers are not the easiest to photography for sure. Bravo! The other thing is that I also like Anemone nemorosa, even posted one on TN also.
Cheers

While looking at some of your past posts, I came across this one. The wood anemone is one of my favorite spring wildflowers and you have captured it here excellently. TFS.

Bonjour Oana,
L'angle de prise de vue est excellent pour valoriser la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs même s'il manque un tout petit peu de profondeur de champ sur la fleur.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
