I would appreciate assistance in identifying the red flower shown in the attached file. It's blooming profusely in early March in zone 8b. It is nyctinastic in nature; the blooms close at night. It's growing in a friend's yard and members of her garden club were unable to identify it. Any assistance is appreciated!
Welcome to UBC forums! It is an Anemone sp. Possibly one such as Anemone pavonina anemone pavonina red - Google Search
