Synonymous with spring in the UK, it also has links to Persian and Turkish legend with a Romeo + Juliet story. In love, but not allowed to be together, each die and tulips grow where their blood was spilt. Perhaps appropriate for the month of valentines!

In Victorian times, anemone was associated with Greek mythology, saying they sprung up from Aphrodite's tears when she was mourning the loss of Adonis who was killed by the Gods due to jealousy over his relationship with the goddess of love. Also known as 'windflower', with delicate petals they serve as a reminder to enjoy the moment.

These tiny flowers grow up in clusters in the spring with steady upright stems, which have given them meaning of a grounded confidence, and hope of a hidden potential.  As they grow together they have meanings of harmony and unity together.
