Identifying a Mystery English Garden Flower: Possibly Anemone?

A gardener saw a beautiful flower in an English garden: single pink flowers on long smooth stems, thick waxy serrated leaves, grey-green color, leaving a round pod with a flat ribbed cap after petals fall.

Possible ID

Could be a type of Anemone (windflower).

Next Steps

• Take a photo to your county extension office (Master Gardener on duty weekly).
• Browse a Flower Encyclopedia at a large bookstore.

Visual identification is far more reliable than descriptions.
