Aphrodite's Tears

Anemone is a family of flowers that includes the Grecian Wind Flower seen here. 

"There is also an old Greek myth surrounding the Anemone flower that revolves around Aphrodite and Adonis. According to this ancient myth, Aphrodite kept Adonis too long as her companion so the other gods decided to kill him. The goddess wept because of the loss and her tears that fell on to the ground grow out as Anemone flowers". (https://flowermeanings.org/anemone-flower-meaning/)

Anemones are in the Ranunculaceae family and this family includes 120 species! The Portland Nursery webpage has pictures and information on several of the different anemones.

In my research, I learned that the Grecian Windflower is poisonous. 

We are now all healthy again and hoping to remain that way! Thanks again for your messages of encouragement and support.
