June 8 - Narcissus-flowered anemone



The narcissus-flowered anemone (Anemone narcissiflora) is very abundant right now from the high alpine meadows to the lower sub-alpine woodlands.  This plant is about a foot tall with flowers about 2 inches in diameter; much larger than most other alpine flowers right now.  The white flowers have a bluish color on the underside.  They have a unique modified leaf just below the flower that completely surrounds the stem.
