Anemone multifida

Buttercup Family

This plant favours south-facing slopes, grasslands and open woods. Like all anemones, Windflowers possess no petals, only sepals. The flowers are a variety of colours from white to yellowish to red, and appear atop a woolly stem. Beneath the flowers are bract-like leaves attached directly to the stem. The leaves are palmate, with deeply incised, silky-haired leaflets somewhat reminiscent of poppy leaves. The fruits are achenes in a rounded head, which later form a large, cottony mass. The common name, Windflower, comes from the method of distributing the long-plumed seeds of the plant.
