Anemone
Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 29 May 2025
Five broad white petals - sepals, strictly, since anemones have no true petals - around a ring of yellow stamens and a green dome of pistils at the centre, with no calyx showing between them.
That combination is an anemone rather than the wild rose or bramble the shape first suggests; a rose or a bramble would show hairy green sepals between the petals, and the stamens would sit on a rim rather than a mound. Which anemone is harder from this framing. Canada anemone, a native that flowers here in late May, and the snowdrop anemone of the perennial borders both look like this from above.
Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
