In the bleak grey landscape of the Texas Hill Country, little spots of color begin to spring up in the late winter. These small Anemones are the first indicators of spring to come. They are the first flowers to bloom in the early spring of each year. The small flowers, 1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter, are a member of the buttercup family and bloom as early as late January through March. They have a variety of colors from pure white, through pale blue, to pink tinged violet.
