Anemone

Anemone's are beautiful. I'll never forget the first time I saw one. I was working in an office when a coworker received a bouquet of flowers. A few anemone were in the bouquet. That started my desire to have them. Since the bouquet was delivered by a florist, I went to that florist and, years on end, picked up a few anemone. 

They are wildflowers. They have long stems but I always cut them down so that I could see the beautiful flowers.  The anemone is called a windflower. It truly blows in the wind.

They come in a variety of colors. I remember getting them in reds, purples, pinks and whites. Sometimes they were mixed colors. Other times, they were solids. No matter what, they were beautiful. They still are. A special flower. A beauty.

So what does the anemone flower symbolize? It has a variety of meanings. I knew it made me happy but I didn't realize that it brought good wishes when I was ill. That was one of its meanings. Another meaning is that it brings happiness to your future. Other meanings are not quite as nice and I prefer not to go there. It's part of nature to have different sides.

"The anemone flower's message is: Look forward to the future. Something new is always around the corner, no matter how dark things might look right now." (www.flowermeaning.com/anemone-flower-meaning/)

Is it time for you to go look at the anemone at your local florist? Once you look, you'll smile.

Each of the above prints are available for purchase.
