What type of windflower has 13 of 14 petals/sepals?

Im trying to classify this flower and i had put it down as a windflower. Now Im trying to find the species and all the windflowers i see have only like 5 petals. Whats my problem?


The petals are much long than they are wide, and are kind of overlapping each other. It has a green center and many anther sticking up in the middle. Any help is welcome. I found this flower in central texas

Your description sounds like the Anemone...some types have numerous overlaping petals:

BTW, There's even an Anemone called the "Texas Anemone", but that one only has 10 petals. "Several species of anemones grow in Texas, including ten-petal anemone, which is also called Granny's night-cap and windflower, A classical myth connects the creation of this flower with the west wind: "
