Anemone The anemone, sometimes called the “wind flower” and belonging to the same family as the uber-hip ranunculus, also has a rich folklore stemming from – who else? – the Greeks. The story goes that Adonis, huge crush of goddesses everywhere, was killed by a wild boar while hunting. In keeping with the Greek tradition of blaming flowers in mythology on the deaths of hotties, the anemone is said to have sprung up where Adonis’ blood had spilled. Other versions of the story say the anemone was a white flower already in bloom, but turned red from Adonis’ blood. #info #EverythingsInfo
