White Windflowers

The weather has finally turned sunny and warm, spring is definitely here. In fact, it's almost warm enough to be early summer.

These beautiful white flowers grow in my garden under a rose bush. They are windflowers, also known as wood anemone, windflower, (European) thimbleweed, smell fox, or by their latin name anemone nemorosa.



The flower is quite small (about 2 cm across), so I had to get very close using an extension ring between the lens and the camera. A tripod was required, of course. ;-)
