Description
Western pasque flower (Anemone occidentalis) found on the alpine meadows of Manning Provincial Park, BC, Canada
Anemone occidentalis (Western pasqueflower) is a herbaceous plant species in the genus Anemone and family Ranunculaceae. Other authorities place it in the genus Pulsatilla. Individuals are 10 to 60 cm tall, from caudices, with 3 to 6 leaves at the base of the plant that are 3-foliolate, each leaflet pinnatifid to dissected in shape. Leaf petioles are 6-10 cm long. Leaves have villous hairs and their margins are pinnatifid or dissected. Plants flower briefly mid-spring to mid-summer, usually soon after the ground is exposed by melting snow. The flowers are composed of 5 to 7 sepals (sometimes called tepals), normally white or soft purple, also mixed white and blueish purple, one flower per stem.The fruit occurs in heads rounded to subcylindric in shape, with pedicels 15 to 20 cm long. The achenes are ellipsoid in shape, not winged, covered with villous hairs, with beaks curved that reflex as they age and 20-40 mm long, feather-like. Generally, the fruit persists into fall.
Native to far western North America including British Columbia to California and Montana, it is found growing in gravelly soils on slopes and in moist meadows.

Just look at all the detail that you captured though one little lens--a million hairs and each individual, leaves are soft and yet still crisp and distinct, beautiful soft background that pushes your blooms to the persons eye. You got down on your knees, close and personal to capture a very nice shot. Thanks for sharing.
Lena Photo Art replied:
Mary, thank you for your nice comments! I am pleased that you like this photo almost as much as I do. This little beauty was one of the few flowers up there on the alpine meadows. It was so little, could have been missed easily. But I did and I am very glad that the photo turned out nice.
