Anemone cylindrica

Thimbleweed

In early to mid-summer, small white flowers bloom for about one month. As the flower withers, the central green cone develops into an elongated fruit that resembles a cylindrical green thimble up to 1½" long, hence the name of the plant. This thimble is at least twice as long as it is wide. The thimble-like fruits develop during the summer, and then become transformed into cottony tufts during the fall.
