Day 54 - Anemone
They get their name from 'anemos', the Greek word for Wind. These are often called Windflowers.
It is pronounced a-nem-o-nee.
Legend has it that the Greek goddess, Aphrodite's tears gave life to Anemones as she wept for the death of the god Adonis.
They are linked to anticipation & are thought to close their petals when rain is on its way.
Some myths claim that fairies make their beds under the petals of Anemones after sunset.
They are available in shades of pink, white, purple, lilac & red.
