white Anemone

Greek mythology linked the red anemone, to the death of Adonis.
Adonis was a handsome young man loved by both Persephone, queen of the underworld, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love. One day, while hunting alone, he wounded a fierce boar, which stabbed him with it’s tusks. Aphrodite heard her lover’s cries and came to his side, only to see him bleeding to death upon a bed of white anemones, his blood turned them a brilliant red.
