Flower of the Month February: the Anemone

 The Anemone is the flower of the Month February and is known for its stunning bright coloured sepals.  But that is not all that this flower is known for! Did you know that Anemones open during the day and close at night? Just like most of us, they can’t function properly without a beauty sleep.
Characteristics
The Anemone has the loveliest bright coloured sepals: pink, purple, blue, red, white or bicoloured… an oasis of colour! The violet coloured varieties were the perfect representatives of the Colour of the Year 2018. Unlike their remarkable sepals, the true petals are actually absent in most cases. The Anemone is a genus containing over 120 species: some have a single row of sepals and others have more. The most popular variety is probably the single, poppy-shaped type with coloured sepals and a black heart.

(Greek) Symbolism
Did you know that the Anemone is also known as the ‘wind flower’? The simplest explanation is that the word Anemone derives from the Greek word Anemoi, which in English means ‘winds’.
Other explanations are related to old Greek myths. Like the one about the nymph Anemona, who lived with the goddess Flora. According to the saga, Zephyros – god of the wind – would have fallen in love with Anemona. Therefore, the jealous goddess turned Anemona into a flower.

Care tips
Anemones are beautiful flowers while properly cared for. Follow these care tips in order to enjoy your Anemones as long as possible:

• Recut the stems at an angle, removing 1-2 inches with a clean knife, for better water intake.
• Hydrate them immediately; use a preservative containing an anti-ethylene agent (if possible).
• Position the Anemone arrangements in a cool area, in order to keep them looking fresh.
• Keep them away from ripening fruit, draught and direct sunlight.
• Refresh the water on a daily basis. Anemones are heavy drinkers so check their water level frequently.
