Flower Of The Month Anemones

Christmas has passed but the gifts keep on coming! Anemones are back in season. Our Anemones are locally grown in Encinitas from Dram and Etcher, and will happily be available until Mother’s Day.

You can find these gorgeous bloom in white, fuchsia, blue, red, plum and blush. they are a lovely addition to any seasonal hand tied bouquet or floral arrangement. I particularly like them grouped together in abase by themselves because they are so unique.

Here is an example of them mixed in our ever so popular “Girl Talk” Floral arrangement:

We use both white and fuchsia anemones in this newly designed hand tied bouquet “ Pretty In Pink”

Anemone flowers are wildflowers that grow in many parts of Europe, North America and Japan. The name anemone is derived from Greek which means “windflower.” The name comes from the fact that the delicate flowers are blown open by the wind, which in turn blows away the dead petals as well.

According to Greek mythology, anemones sprang out of the tears of Aphrodite while she was mourning the death of her lover, Adonis. Adonis was killed by the gods due to their jealousy over his love affair with the beautiful goddess of love.

The most significant anemone flower meaning is anticipation. This is because the anemone flowers close up at night and open back up in the morning. Due to its wild nature, the flower specifically symbolizes relaxation and serves as a reminder to enjoy the moment in order to take in opportunities at the right time. According to the Victorian language of flowers, anemone flowers also signify fragility.

Anemone flowers are available in many colors with each symbolizing a different meaning.

White anemone flowers symbolize sincerity due to their delicate appearance.

Red and pink anemone flowers symbolize death or forsaken love.

Purple anemone flowers symbolize protection from evil.
