One of the oddest and varied-shaped plants of Cascadia. Some call this a tow-headed baby plant. Others label it the Old Man of the Mountains flower. It’s more commonly known as the Western Pasque Flower or the Western Anemone Flower. Short, pretty flowers and a shaggy-haired pom-pom stick makes it unique. Sometimes it’s misidentified from a distance as bear grass. The botanists call it, Anemone occidentalis.
