Anemone
''Anemone'' is a genus of about 120 species of flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native to temperate zones. The genus is closely related to ''Pulsatilla'' ('Pasque flower') and ''Hepatica''; some botanists even include both of these genera within ''Anemone''. ==Name== According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Greek ''anemōnē'' means "daughter of the wind", from ''ánemos'' the wind god "wind" + feminine patronymic suffix ''-ōnē''. The ''Metamorphoses'' of Ovid tells that the plant was created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her dead lover Adonis. The name "windflower" is used for the whole genus as well as the wood anemone ''A. nemorosa''.
