The wood anemone is a perennial flowering plant. This means that although the visible part of the flower dies out in the autumn, the roots of the plant keep living and grow into a new flower during the spring. 

The white flowers of the wood anemone can easily be distinguished, even form a distance. This makes it easy for pollinator insects to find the flowers.

Pollinator insects fly from one flower to another, collecting the sweet nectar stored in the flowers. At the same time, the insects spread pollen from one flower to another.
