Hello, I have a wildflower picture that I took that I love, but I don't know the name of it, and research has turned up no exact matches. The closest I could get to was white columbine, but I believe that it is incorrect. It was taken in North-Eastern New York State in Point Au Roche state park. Attached is the image. I'd be happy to give credit to anyone who comtributes to the identification of this flower in the comments of the image on my web album. Thanks in advance! (sorry about the wrong subject prefix. I don't have a way to fix it)
Looks like an Anemone sp. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=an...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1271&bih=501 Flowers are not the right shape for Columbine. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=co...art=0&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:22,s:0&tx=35&ty=41 http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=aq...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1271&bih=501
Thanks for the information and links. I found some flowers 'marked' as white columbine that were close, but I didn't think it was one. Updated and credit given!
This looks right! I've searched so many "flower identification" websites without luck. Next time I will learn to take a picture that isn't using my macro lens so I can see the leaves and stem and such for identification purposes. Good job on the ident.
Hmmm! I wonder if Anemone nemorosa would still be flowering on 10th June in Plattsburgh. Over here in UK it is a spring woodland flower. I agree with Atte,it is always really helpful to see a pic of the whole plant including leaves, as well as a good close up of the flower.
I agree too. I move macrophotography, so I get a dozen up close ones to make sure I get a good shot then move on. Now I've learned to take a medium shot that includes stem/leaves and such for reference. Atte's is the closest so far, and if I remember correctly, it was the only one of it's kind I saw on my entire hike. I'm wondering if the disaster proportion flooding we got, as well as a cool spring could have effected it.
