They look similar and I'm sure the family is correct but the petal count is completely different

I also thought they might be alpine anemones/Pulsatille des alpes (Pulsatilla alpina). Do they generally have lower number of petals, or lose them together? I ask because there are many photos of them seemingly with similar and varying numbers of petals

Those look incredibly close. I'd be willing to bet it's that species, or maybe one very closely related.
