Yellow Wood Anemone

Yellow Wood Anemone Anemone ranunculoides, Drayton Beauchamp Churchyard (21/04/2012)

A little colony of Yellow Wood Anemone grows in a quiet neglected corner of Drayton Beauchamp Churchyard, close to Wilstone Reservoir. This delicate little plant, also known as Buttercup Anemone is related to Anemome nemorosa, the familiar Wood Anemone or Windflower that decorates sunny roadside banks in early spring. Yellow Anemones are widely cultivated in gardens especially by rock garden enthusiasts and are frequently escapes, often naturalising in shady places and rough ground.
