Overview
We are all familiar with anemones at Moorcroft and their dark, seedy centres can be spotted a mile off by ‘windflower’ admirers. It is an ancient myth, passed down through hundreds of generations of dreamers, that the affectionate nickname for these flowers derives from Greek legend. Anemoi were the wind gods and ōoneē is a feminine suffix. Therefore, anemone can be loosely deciphered to mean ‘daughter of the wind’.

We are all familiar with anemones at Moorcroft and their dark, seedy centres can be spotted a mile off by ‘windflower’ admirers. It is an ancient myth, passed down through hundreds of generations of dreamers, that the affectionate nickname for these flowers derives from Greek legend. Anemoi were the wind gods and ōoneē is a feminine suffix. Therefore, anemone can be loosely deciphered to mean ‘daughter of the wind’. The Metamorphoses of Ovid tells that the plant was created by the goddess, Venus, when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her lover, Adonis. So the next time you gaze into this dreamy design painted in electric lilacs, think of those mighty ancient gods and goddesses and how their stories still percolate through our language, visions and dreams into our own stories of today.
