Wind Flower

The Wood Anemone is named after the Greek wind god, Anemos, who sent his namesakes, the anemones, in early spring to herald his coming. This legend gives the flower its other common name of ‘Windflower’.

Walking here is very beautiful – this small wood is filled with fresh green on the trees and underfoot anemonies whose flowers open when light levels are lower. It is like a carpet of small white stars fallen to earth.
