Family: Ranunculaceae
Origin/Distribution: Newfoundland and Nova Scotia south to Oklahoma, Georgia, Louisiana, these plants were grown from seed collected in New England. This plant is native to Maine.
Habitat: wood's edge, damper slopes, thickets, stream banks, low and moist open woodland
More: Larval host for, among others, the Banded Hairstreak, Satyrium calanus, (pictured in Frank's photo) and the Clematis Clearwing, Alcathoe caudata, both of which are native to Maine. This lovely vine is rabbit, deer, and juglone resistant, and attracts pollinators, including hummingbirds. I am going to try it as a trailing component in flower arrangements. I am not sure it will last long in flower, but the seedheads are also interesting and will probably have a longer vase life if cut at that stage. There will certainly be plenty to cut. It has been used medicinally, but also contains toxic components, and may cause contact dermatitis in some people so proceed with caution.
