Maribor, Slovenia

In der Blumensprache stehen die Anemonen als Symbol für Unschuld, Vertrauen und Vergänglichkeit.

Bright and cheery, Grecian Windflowers are early spring bloomers and are lovely when planted en masse.

Sometimes known as Balkan anemones, these daisy-like flowers come in shades of blue, mauve, pink, and white.

Enjoy this delightful flower with me!

Look in the Lightbox

Anemones are herbaceous tuberous perennials that flowers in spring and grow only six inches high. The large flowers appear in early spring and are an intense shade of purple-blue but also come in shades of pink and white. Flowering lasts for 4 weeks in April-May. They easily naturalized in ideal conditions.
