We planted a bed of Anemomes under a window several years ago, but they never did well in that location so we took them out. They reappear here and there in the garden every year.
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, goddess of love, loved a handsome mortal man called Adonis. When hunting, he wounded a fierce boar, which stabbed him with its tusks. Aphrodite heard his cries and found him bleeding to death. Red anemones sprang from the earth where Adonis's blood fell.
