Oregon anemone (Anemone oregana). It ranges from white to pale blue to light purple.

Not to be confused with Columbia windflower (Anemone deltoidea), which has rounder petals and is always white.

:lol: Just what this forum needs people with a sense of humor and an inability to identify the color blue.
