Anemone blanda, Grecian Windflower, Ranunculaceae

Genus and species:  
Anemone blanda
Common Name: Grecian Windflower
Family Name: Ranunculaceae

This plant has lovely compound foliage that looks a bit like Eranthus, however the leaves are more fringed and lay atop longer pedecels. The flowers come in white/pink, and blue flowers that last a while. They close up when cloudy and nighttime and open up on sunny days.
