But I guess the trick is getting it established on a larger scale. Thanks--I'm on a Muir kick now. So much to learn! We keep getting light snows, nothing major which is nice.

Ours range from about -20F (-29C) to 105F (41C). Your climate might be drier in a "normal" year, but we were extremely dry this year. With that said, I'm not certain the False Rue Anemone survived.

Yes, I guess it was Isopyrum for a long time, and now many are using Enemion--maybe with the recent reclassifications of plants (like Dicentra changing to Lamprocapnos)? Some of the sources use the two interchangeably, and some mention that they are synonyms. It makes my head spin. I was very sad about the quick passing of Bloodroot last spring. I hope it sticks around a little longer this spring!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-10315838887319557112013-01-25T10:27:51.654-06:002013-01-25T10:27:51.654-06:00Thanks, Donna.

The flowers are pretty and look like so many other small, white flowers--making it hard to identify by the blooms. But the foliage is strange and beautiful and unique. If you want a native plant that appears in early to mid-spring, disappears in summer, and comes back in fall, this would be a good choice.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-46893961585200227232013-01-25T10:10:34.728-06:002013-01-25T10:10:34.728-06:00Very pretty flower.
