Rue

I saw this pretty little flower blooming on my walk growing in little patches. Some light pink and some white. They were in woodsy areas by my path. I walk so often that a path has developed in the woods by Galla Lake. The deer and I beat it down. I will carry my loppers this week as a few stickers are growing up there.  

Rue anemone has tiny white flowers and bright green leaves and likes the dappled shade of trees where the soil is rich, loamy, and moist. It  blooms for a period of about six weeks and then goes dormant. Bees love it.
