Anemone
The name Anemone comes from Greek and roughly means wind
flower, which signifies that the wind that blows the petal
open will also, eventually, blow the dead petals away.
The Anemone plants are perennial herbs with an underground
rootstock, and radical, more or less deeply cut leaves.
The elongated flower stem bears one or several, white, red,
blue or rarely yellow flowers. There is an involucre of three
leaflets below each flower.
The fruits often bear long hairy styles, which aid their
distribution by the wind. They produce cup-shaped yellowish,
white, purple, violet, or red Anemone flowers.
Among the most popular are the autumn-flowering Japanese
Anemone (Anemone hupehensis).
Yellow wood anemone (Anemone ranunculoides), also known as the
Buttercup Anemone, is a similar plant with slightly smaller
flowers of rich yellow colouring.
In medicine, Anemone is used as a treatment for cramps,
menstrual problems and emotional distress.
