Windflower/Cut-leaved Anemone

Windflower/Cut-leaved Anemone
I noticed this deep pink/purple Windflower/Cut-leaved Anemone when we were botanizing (recording all flora and fauna) at Three Point Creek Natural Area all day yesterday. This location is south of Calgary, near Black Diamond. We haven't found it to be one of the better locations to botanize, but it still made for a very enjoyable day (including seeing two Great Horned Owls in flight in the distance). As the name of the natural area suggests, it does have a creek, and creek crossings are not my favourite experiences, LOL. The help of friends is always so much appreciated! My hopes of crossing with dry feet didn't work out, ha. I did happen to notice a tiny yellow Crab Spider on one of the slippery stones just before I went to make the next step, so of course I had to stop to take a quick couple of shots!

"Anemone multifida is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family known by the common names Pacific anemone, globe anemone, and cutleaved anemone. It is native to northern North America from Alaska to New York and as far south as Arizona and New Mexico. It is also known from parts of South America. This is a perennial herb which is quite variable in appearance, especially across varieties. It grows from a branching caudex to heights from 10 to 70 centimeters. The long petioled leaves are covered in a coat of long silky or coarse white hairs. Each leaf is divided into many long, pointed lobes, and the lobes are sometimes subdivided. Including the petiole a single leaf may be 5 to 20 centimeters long. The inflorescence holds one or more flowers. The flowers have no petals but five to eight petallike sepals which may be nearly any color. They are somewhat hairy, especially on the outer surface. The center of the flower contains up to 80 stamens." From Wikipedia.
