#mountain perennials

• Mexican anemone — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to the mountainous regions and pine-oak forests of Mexico and Central America. This warm-temperate plant develops erect stems, deeply lobed basal leaves, and solitary or clustered flowers with delicate cream-white or slightly greenish sepals, adapted to high-altitude forest ecosystems.
• Spring pasqueflower — A scientific synonymous name for Pulsatilla vernalis, a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to mountainous and arctic regions of Europe (Alps, Pyrenees, Scandinavia). Commonly known as the spring pasqueflower, this early alpine species is remarkable for its winter-persistent basal leaves and its solitary, cup-shaped flowers covered on the outside with silky, golden-violet hairs that protect the immaculate white petals within.
