Anemones in flower

Foto: Arne Ader
 
Large beautiful snow white flowers with a slight violet tinge. These beautiful flowers have always been picked , and actually picking doesn’t harm them.  
The lime-loving plant is mainly found in dry meadows and alvars in North and West Estonia. Five petals, a mass of yellow stamens and a flat pistil stigma. Leaves hairy and palmate. It spreads to form sparse groups.
NB: The snowdrop anemone is a quite poisonous plant, particularly the rhizome and especially during flowering. The toxins are volatile and may injure the mucuous membranes and eyes. If you really want to pick it use rubber gloves
