Wood Anemone ? (1 Viewer)

To all intents and purposes I would think these were Wood Anemones other than the Pink colouration. I cannot see any info about a Pink form so would appreciate any advice or feedback concerning the correct ID

Many Thanks

I have read and even seen wood anemone a with faint tinge of pink before, but some of these were more pink with a faint tinge of white !
It might well be that they are indeed wood anemone but if so don't think I've seen them quite so pink previously.


Leaves and flower look like anemone to me, and some of them do tinge pink as outlined here:

Other than that, I can only think of five petalled pink flowers, not six.

Were these truly wild or naturalised in a woodland garden. There is a pink variety of Anemone nemorosa called "Wyatt's Pink"- perhaps this or similar. It may be that this is a naturally occuring sport + as these would be clonally spreading the plants would look similar.
 
To all intents and purposes this appeared to be a 'wild' woodland with bluebells & wild garlic etc. It was some miles way from housing etc although I guess it doesn't entirely rule out the possibility of cultivated plants even though these were quite widespread.
