anemones.
"As Aphrodite bore her
lover's body out of the woods, crimson anemones sprung up where
each drop of blood and nectar fell onto the earth. It is said that
that the wind which blows the blossoms open, will soon afterwards
blow the petals away; so it is called the Anemone, or Wind Flower,
for that which brings forth its life, ends it."
