Tree anemone

Tree anemone (Carpenteria californica) is a flowering plant that has an exceedingly narrow range of origin. That’s the Sierra Nevada foothills of sunny California. It hasn’t spread to many other geographic regions, which makes it quite rare. However, people around the world use it ornamentally. The first time it was cultivated was in 1875, and that was in England.
