Anemone nemorosa is an early-spring flowering plant in the Genus Anemone. Common names include wood anemone, windflower, European thimbleweed and smell fox. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, growing in early spring to 5-15 cm tall, and dying back down to the root-like rhizomes by mid summer. The rhizomes, that spread just below the earth surface, grow quickly, contributing to its rapid spread in woodland conditions, where it can carpet large areas.

The flower is 2 cm diameter, with six or seven petal-like segments (actually tepals). 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'. It does not have a scent, and little nectar, since it does not rely very much on pollination by insects for reproduction.

The plant is poisonous to humans, but has been used as a medicine.

Yellow wood anemone, Anemone ranunculoides, also known as the buttercup anemone, is a similar plant with slightly smaller flowers of rich yellow colouring.

Very nice close-up with good excellent focus on the center. Dark background brings out the colors well. But could use some more depth of field. Regards,
Hakan

Hi Tomescu.
Nice very close-up of this Anemone.I like accurate sharpenning on yellow centre,but on petals could be more sharp details,IMHO.Colors are beautiful and pretty contrast against dark BG.Very nice composition with good point of view.Well done,TFS.

bonjour cezar
les petales manque un peu de piqué a mon avis mais cela donne de la douceur a la fleur.
les couleurs sont jolies et naturelles.

Hi Tom

Lovely form - and contrast. The three simple colours work well together. Very good composition.
