Also known as Meadow Anemone, and by some botanists placed in the genus Anemonastrum (making it neuter, Anemonastrum canadense). This is a rare plant in the Pittsburgh area; here in the southern extremity of its range, the stations are sparse and widely separated. This plant was blooming in Bird Park, Mount Lebanon. There is a possibility that it was intentionally introduced, but the USDA PLANTS database does record Anemone canadensis as native to Allegheny County.
For a description of the species, see the Anemone canadensis reference page.
