This is a genus with just one species, a delightful woodland plant from eastern North America. It has light, airy foliage, and clusters of a few fairly small, multipetalled flowers, usually pink or white, in some varieties double.

Anemonella thalictroides is a gorgeous plant, slow to grow, but well worth waiting for. The leaves are in light, open sprays, and the flowers, white or pink, add to this delightful effect.
