and A is for anemones...


and anticipation in flower speak. The Greek myth suggests that anemones sprang from the tears of Aphrodite as she mourned the loss of Adonis. 

Don't they have such sweet little faces ? I took this photograph in my local Saint Remy market and then bought a couple of bunches to take home. Anemones are like tulips and continue to grow in the vase but unlike tulips they are mighty thirsty and need to be watered every day. I love to separate the bunches and arrange a vase of each colour on the table; pink, purple, red and white. 

I am loving 'anticipation', xv.
