Wood anemone

Wood anemone

Anemonoides nemorosa or the wood anemone, is an early-spring flowering plant, native to Europe. The wood anemone is named after the Greek wind god, Anemos, who sent his namesakes, the anemones, in early spring to herald his coming. This legend gives the flower its other common name of 'windflower'. Wood anemone has a sharp, musky smell and is rarely eaten by most animals due to its bad taste.
