Western Anemone is striking in fruit after white flowers have gone. Near Paradise River in Mt. Rainier National Park near famous Paradise Lodge. The river is glacier melt with headwaters above Paradise Meadows. Also know variously as Western Pasque Flower, Tow-headed Baby, and Mop Top, the flowers come right after snow melt and are equally lovely.
