Macro anemone

I am not a lover of cut flowers but this was my mothers favourite flower. She would love how they looked past it in the shops but come to life in water. I was buying flowers for a friend when I saw purple anemones and thought of my mum who is still missed.

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.

The flower expert list of flower meanings says:
Anemone on a darker note indicates fading hope and a feeling of having been forsaken. On a positive note it symbolizes anticipation.

I think I will go for anticipation
