Anemone nemorosa 'Alba Plena'

Anemos is the Greek for 'wind' and 'mone' meaning place, habitation. Theophrastus was the first to use the name 'anemone'; however, some authorities believe the word comes from the Syrian nama'an, the cry for the dead Adonis whose blood is described in legend as returning to life in the scarlet anemones.
