Day 54 - Anemone
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.

Mr and Mrs Mansfield 8th April
It was Easter Sunday & the Wedding of Lindsey. I have known Lindsey for around 15 years so it was a special day when she married her Robbie Williams.
Lindsey opted for a subtle theme of pale pink, white & pale green.
They held their reception at Hothorpe Hall which was home to lots of jumping baby lambs!
Buttonholes of Cymbidium Orchids & Ivy leaves.
Lee's Buttonhole of a white & lime green Cymbidium Orchid head with Ivy leaves.
Lindsey's Mum, Maggie, wore a white Freesia Corsage.
Lindsey chose a hand-tied bouquet of white & pale pink Peonys, Hydrangea, Lisianthus, Veronica, pale green Carnations, 'Green Fashion' Roses, pink Spray Roses & Jasmine.
The stems were bound with white ribbon.
Loving the 'Green Fashion' Roses, very popular this year with my Brides.
The Bridesmaids carried hand-tieds of 'Green Fashion' Roses, Hydrangea, Hydrangea, Lisianthus, Veronica & Jasmine.
The stems were bound with white ribbon.
Lindsey's niece carried a small hand-tied of Carnations & Hydrangea.
