Tiny buds unfold
showing off velvet petals
Turn towards the light
to bathe in sheer transparency
Anemone
The flower's name comes from the Greek word for
Windflower.
It is said that the anemone has a connection with magical fairies
who are believed to sleep under the petals after they close at sunset.
I wonder if they have to shake the pollen out of their wings in the morning?
