anemones following my post of the very unpopular carnations. The flowers also come in bright colors and all have a very haunting dark slate blue center. In the case of this white one (with a little pink dashed about), it's as close to a white and black flower as I can think of. It has contrast, a rather unique feature in flowers.
And what do you know? They are a national flower too. Which means that they have significance enough to be given a designation. In some cases they grown in abundance in a particular local or were cultivated and beloved enough to be adopted. I see the rose has been claimed by many a country while the wild banana orchid has only been claimed by the Cayman Islands.
As I'm always intrigued about the flower/human relationship this is an interesting little road to explore.

My apologies to the Celebration of Spring Class. I'll upload the photos as soon as I can figure out how to.
