Japanese anemone
(windflower; thimbleweed)
Japonica hupehensis
The Japanese anemone begins its bloom in the late summertime. It is native to China, and was discovered there in 1844. It was taken to England when Japanese gardens came into vogue. They have since naturalized there, and it is from which most garden hybrids are bred. It has been naturalized in Japan for hundreds of years. It can be found on cool, open slopes in North America, and in Europe.

I see this bloom around our neighbourhood and parks frequently; it is definitely very popular ... I'd say it has Celebrity status :)
