flower id: anemone

beautiful, fragile, anemones. These were headed for the trash yesterday by a unappreciative designer as I worked designing for valentine's day. Their petals will soon fall which is why they were too spent to use in arrangements. I couldn't bare to see such blooming beauties wasted at their prime, so I saved them and brought them home. One designer's trash is another designer's treasure :)

anemones are in the buttercup family, ranunculaceae, and also known as the poppy anemone or the anemone coronaria. The anemone coronaria are native to the Mediterranean region and grow wild all over Israel and Jordan. They come in a variety of colors like white, red, pinks and purples. And how are they pronounced? a-nem-o-neeee, you know like how nemo pronounces it. These are one of my favorite flowers, I love how delicate they are and how each center looks different.

I am thinking about doing a giveaway of one of my designs so come back soon!
