Description

Blue Anemone 2. Anemone cor. ‘Harmony Blue’ Windflower.

Anemone are called "wind flowers". Anemone is derived from the Greek word anemoi, which in English means "winds". Large blue papery blossoms with black center are produced in late spring above green ferny foliage. Plant goes dormant after flowering, and is typically used as an annual. The beautiful Anemone flower symbolizes protection against evil and ill wishes and forsaken or forgotten love and affection. . The approach of a rain storm when the petals close up.

Anemone are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. Flowers with 4–27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2–9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species.

The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped achenes that are collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks; though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them.
