Anemone coronaria ranunculaceae (Poppy anemone)

Anemone coronaria grows wild all over the Mediteranean region

The Anemone in Greek Myth: Venus/Aphrodite creates the short-lived anemone flower from the blood of Adonis, who was killed by Apollo in the form of a boar. To some, this flower has come to represent the goddess's short-lived lover, and it takes its name from the wind which so easily makes its petals fall.
