An Anemone hupehensis Ouvertüre flower, or Windflower, (also known as a Japan-Herbst-Anemone in German) growing in Lower Austria, Austria

---

Anemone means "daughter of the wind" in ancient Greek– hence it is sometime called the 'Windflower'. The Metamorphoses of Ovid tells us that the plant was created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her dead lover Adonis. Anemone hupehensis 'Ouvertüre', as the name would imply (opening), is supposed to flower earlier than other Anemone hupehensis.
