Sharp-lobed Hepatica - Anemone acutiloba

Things are so difficult in New York right now, but nature has no notion of it. I found these beauties growing along a nature trail only about an hour away from NYC.

Habitat: Rocky forest

**Note: I am not sure if this should be identified as Anemone acutiloba or Hepatica nobilis. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Thanks Ferdy! I wish the photo was a bit brighter, but I think the natural light looks good too.
  
  We only crossed the border into NY to hike and didn't get near any people, so we stayed safe. Otherwise, we would have had to quarantine ourselves for 14 days. Posted 5 years ago
