Anemone – The Windflower with a Mesmerising Gaze
Anemone (Anemone coronaria) belongs to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae, the same family as Ranunculus and Delphinium) and comes from the Mediterranean, where it grows as a tuberous perennial. Its name comes from the Greek anemos (wind), which is why it is often nicknamed the “daughter of the wind.” At KvětinyExpres.cz it is a symbol of refinement – it brings dramatic contrast to a bouquet, its delicate, almost paper-thin petals surrounding a dark, velvety centre that looks like a deep, watchful eye.
Why is Anemone a star of the season? Anemones have two main seasons. In spring they shine in pastel colours, while in our autumn bouquets it is the richer burgundy and pure white shades that take the lead. They are flowers with a mind of their own – in a vase they keep turning toward the light, and their stems can curve slightly, giving an arrangement life and movement.
A symbol of anticipation: In the language of flowers, Anemone expresses anticipation, hope, and protection against evil. It is a flower for those who love modern design and are not afraid of bold visual statements.
Tip from Bára (Colour & Design Specialist): “Anemone is my personal passion. The white variety with a black centre especially is a true graphic gem. It is a perfect fit for modern wedding bouquets, since it looks incredibly luxurious in photos. In seasonal bouquets I love pairing it with textured greenery like eucalyptus, to let its delicate character shine. But watch out – anemones drink a lot of water! Check the vase every day, they are thirsty beauties.”
