Anemone genus

Anemone genus belongs to the family Ranunculaceae (buttercup family) and includes about 120 species.
Anemones have a broad spread in the northern hemisphere, but can be found in cooler areas of the southern hemisphere.

The intention with which I opened the topic under this name is to enable anyone to post here, different pictures of anemones in nature.
So intent is to generate discussion about anemones, about the differences between species with emphasis on the presentation of images from nature.
Sure would be interesting stories about anemones.
Of course we can talk about growing species of anemone, but I think it would be more appropriate that they be presented in a separate topic, especially when presented photos of anemone species in culture.
Sometimes cultivated plants can create confusion in identifying species in nature. Of course if they are given, to the plants, too much attention. A rich food and lack of need to fight for survival, may lead to a different development of the plant. And of course, and the different zone and soil are important in development to one given plant.
I believe after a while, especially if they are successively propagated in cultivation, they are "domesticated" and they can become cultivars. Is possible to be more or less different if we compare to the wild species.
So are not excluded, general considerations, on the cultivation of wild species but pay attention if is a picture of a cultivated plant.
Perhaps can be welcome photographs of differences arising in cultivation compared to those in nature.
