The Living Forest (228) : Wood Anemones

After a week with milder temperatures and soft rain, the explosion of spring has finally begun.
At this moment hundreds of Wood Anemones are growing on the forest floor in small dense carpets.

Among the wild flowers, the Wood Anemone belongs to the earliest blooming species in the forest.
In springtime, they benefit thereby a lot from the sunlight that shines through the still leafless trees.

It is said that the Wood Anemones bloom at the same time as the return of the swallow from Africa.

Dutch name : Bosanemoon
German name : Buschwindröschen
