hunch/ botany gut feeling
family of the Ranunculaceae,
perhaps some low Anemone,

bye, Lin

Yes - looks like Ranunculaceae. Delphinium?

my very first reaction as well,

do they grow in that area?

shame on me, no clue where the wild Delphinium come from...

coralred, do you speak Japanese and could ask someone about Delphinium?

exciting,

bye, L

Unfortunately, I can only speak a few Japanese phrases. This one was from a hillside in a forested area in late May.
