    Hey all, just looking for some help in identifying this flower. It was on a lawn along with daisies. The lawn in a park and well kept so there were no large plants present.

    I have checked irishflowers.ie but I couldn't find a match.

    It Looks like the flower from a Clematis, probably blown onto the lawn.

    The flower is much smaller than any clemantis I have seen, it was also growing in the ground, there were plenty of them all over the lawn.

    Do you have any pictures that would give a better idea of foliage and size?

    Could it be an autumn crocus https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colchicum_autumnale.jpg

    This was last May? It's a Clematis montana variety.

    Did you post the wrong photo ...

    No, it cant be a colchicum as it only has four petals. It does indeed look like a clematis.

    Ok, I made a boo boo. It is indeed a Clematis. I have about 10 pictures I took the same day and 8 of them are from the local park. I now remember taking a picture of the Clematis in the back garden. Sorry about that. Thanks for the help and jogging my memory :)
