Windflowers (Anemone)
The genus of windflowers is a part of the Buttercup family. The Latin name was given by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 from the Greek name meaning 'daughter of the wind'. Presumably, that name occurred because the plant's sensitive petals can be carried away by the wind. According to a Greek legend, windflowers were created by the goddess Aphrodite.
