Description
Back in 2012 when I first took the photo that I used to make this work from we were still homesteading on our rural piece of land and had no amenities like electricity, so no computer and no Google. I found this lovely flower blooming along with another just like it only deep blue and I had no idea what they were. I did own a collection of field guides so I dug into them trying hard to identify this unusual wildflower and to my dismay I could not get a definitive id. The closest I could guess was that they were clematis flowers and that is what I believed right up until about 2 years ago when now, living in town with a computer, I Googled it and found that they are Anemone Blanda flowers, they grow wild here, in Oklahoma, probably being escapees from gardens and the deep blue color is common. Keep an eye out for future posts that include both colors.
