This shaggy, dusky mushroom is in the bolete family and can be hard to find because it often blends in with leaf litter or pinecones.

Greek Anemone

Anemonoides blanda

Remnants of a long abandoned Victorian era garden, these beautiful deep purple flowers are now growing as a naturalized small population in hillside woods overlooking the Mississippi River. Although they're not native to this region, they're thankfully not one of the several invasive species taking over the local ecosystem.
