About the pattern :
The anemone blanda, named Anemone of Greece is a flowering plant native to the Balkans, Turkey, Lebanon and Syria. The flower is blue, pink or white and looks like a daisy. Its name (in Greek άνεμώνη) can be translated as “girl of the wind”. And here are two stories that explain where that name comes from.
The myth of Adonis
Adonis was a very handsome man and the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite (and not only!). Ares, god of war, who was also Aphrodite’s lover and was very jealous of Adonis, decided to get revenge on him. During a hunt in which the young man participated, Ares sent a wild boar to attack him, hurting him mortally. Leaning over the dead body, Aphrodite was sobbing and her tears, mingled with the blood of her lover and the ground give birth to a plant : the Anemone or the Adonis Blooddrops (The ancients confused the two flowers, so, depending on the source of the myth it’s either one or the other).
The myth of the nymph Anemone
Anemone was a nymph loved by Zephyr, god of West Wind. Eventually the couple got caught by Zephir’s wife, Chloris, who got her revenge on her husband by transforming Anemone into a flower. It is said that Zephyr lost interest for the nymph then. But another god, felt in love with her flower shape, Boreas, the god of the North Wind.
