Western Wood Anemone, Anemone Lyallii



Day 256 (Part B): Western Wood Anemone, aka Lyall's Anemone is a relatively uncommon species which may occur in lowland forest to subalpine regions. It prefers a habitat of shady woodland. The inflorescence (flower) can range in color from blue to white (occasionally pinkish), and it can be distinguished from A. oregana by observation of the stamens. A. oregana generally has more than 35. These specimens were noted at the west end of public parking at Longmire on June 15, 2013.
