Anemones grow wild in many European countries, in North America, and Japan. Anemones are closely related to Pasque flower (Pulsatilla) and Hepatica (Hepatica); some botanists include both of these genera within the genus Anemone.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBfpepdD4PbPZph89kuepzElqMYIZkN_GRea4rGYGkOLjsAfFyXLW78-Cw_zG1W14AfVlXtuMd-aA5ReeCFRv3SaslRp1JLWV82omcecobH0LDDj5-zj66m0YIPzEgka8ApVov0B5OQYJo/s320/Anemone+flowers+wallpapers..jpg)

The name Anemone comes from Greek and roughly means wind flower, which signifies that the wind that blows the petal open will also, eventually, blow the dead petals away.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirLBgY4yseNQvnxcqf2b81D0nWkjhBd_6PJLlFJJrONoyoLQ9wbZXh91ih-D8cs4HtWNy2Kq2rCxWMhx_4ED8yyW-5zMlz4GHk0PzWJCvnve5QAlX1jSqZ7GG-9T9Frrp4-JO-q79d9Oyq/s320/Anemone+flowers+wallpapers.+%25281%2529.jpg)

- The Anemone plants are perennial herbs with an underground rootstock, and radical, more or less deeply cut leaves.
- The elongated flower stem bears one or several, white, red, blue or rarely yellow flowers. There is an involucre of three leaflets below each flower.
- The fruits often bear long hairy styles, which aid their distribution by the wind. They produce cup-shaped yellowish, white, purple, violet, or red Anemone flowers.
- Among the most popular are the autumn-flowering Japanese Anemone(Anemone hupehensis).
- Yellow wood anemone (Anemone ranunculoides), also known as the Buttercup Anemone, is a similar plant with slightly smaller flowers of rich yellow colouring.
