Columbia Windflowers (Anemone deltoidea) are one of a handful of white flowering spring bloomers of the Pacific Northwest.

The plant is one of many Anemone species in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).

It is generally found growing on forest floors west of the Cascades, including Northern California.

Different windflower species are found throughout all of North America, including Alaska and Canada. Like most species in the buttercup family, the five leaves helps with initial identification.
