Early Blooming Wildflowers


On our walk yesterday we were lucky to find a newborn fawn.  That is a bonus in our natural world.   


This pretty ground cover also caught my eye - growing all over the place just north of the main crossing of Silver Creek.  It is Canada Anemone - Anemone Canadensis - which also happens to be a member of the buttercup family and colloquially known as the Canada Windflower or Meadow Anemone.       


This wildflower is found throughout the world with more than a couple dozen varieties in North America.  It propagates by means of an underground rhizome and prefers wet meadows and prairies.  

It’s a showy flower.   

And there's a lot of it!
