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.

Sharp-lobed Hepatica
Hepatica acutiloba
These gorgeous spring ephemerals are usually found in woods with rich, somewhat alkaline, well drained-soils across eastern North America. Their flowers can vary in color and petal count. The hepatica plants pictured were growing on wooded hillsides featuring dolomite rock outcrops.
