Canada anemone, Anemone canadensis
Anemone or Anemonastrum? Here we go again again. When I looked up Canada anemone just now I discovered that it may have changed its name. Apparently Anemonastrum will be a more monophyletic arrangement for the genera. The tribes that used this as a panacea probably wouldn't worry about it, but these days it sometimes seems hard to keep up. Whatever it is, patches of these pretty inch-and-a-half flowers grow in CO, CT(E), IA, IL, IN, KS, KY(X), MA, MD(X), ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OH, PA, SD, TN(T), VA, VT, WI, WV, WY, AB, BC, MB, NB, NS, NT, ON, PE, QC, and SK. Lenawee Co MI, 6/16/11. Buttercup family, Ranunculaceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
