These Grecian Windflowers are new additions to the garden. I really like them and may plant more next fall. Hoping they spread and form a nice carpet of pretty blooms. The foliage is adorable too. The flowers close at dusk.
Anemonoides blanda, syn. Anemone blanda, the Balkan anemone, Grecian windflower, or winter windflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae. The species is native to southeastern Europe and the Middle East. The specific epithet blanda means "mild" or "charming".
Windflowers do best in areas that offer at least a half day of shade, but will grow well in full shade too. That makes these a spectacular bulb for woodland areas, under trees, along edging, or as a mass planting. They do best in rich, well-draining soil.
Uses. Mix and mass for an excellent, early-blooming variety of colors for the rock garden, perennial border, wild garden or naturalized open woodland area. Excellent in large drifts under spring flowering trees. Good container plant.
Herbalists in the Middle Ages used A. blanda as treatment for gout and headaches. Due to their toxicity, they are no longer used as medications.

Greek Anemone
Anemonoides blanda
Remnants of a long abandoned Victorian era garden, these beautiful deep purple flowers are now growing as a naturalized small population in hillside woods overlooking the Mississippi River. Although they're not native to this region, they're thankfully not one of the several invasive species taking over the local ecosystem.
