Anemone nemorosa 'Lychette' (Anemone 'Lychette', Anemone 'Lytchett', Anemone 'Lytchett Variety', Anemone nemorosa 'Lytchett', Anemone nemorosa 'Lytchett Variety') 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. |
