Getting to Know Cut Flowers: Anemone

Anemone means daughter of the wind in Greek. These flowers are members of the buttercup family.  They are one of the more unusual looking flowers and on the more costly side.  I see them most often with petals in red, white, and purple(blue) around a dark center of black.  They also come in bright pink.  I consider them a "cold weather" flower with availability from October through May.  Anemones can be really tricky to work with because the stems tend not to be straight.  Placement can be difficult. They are one of the flowers that tend to curve towards the light.  They certainly make a statement among other flowers.
