The Living Forest (149) : Wood Anemone

The Wood Anemone belongs to the earliest blooming wild spring flowers in the forest.

The flowers lack both nectar and fragrance, but the leaves smell musky.
Though so innocent in appearance, the plant contains poisonous chemicals that are toxic to both animals and men.

It is said that the Wood Anemone blooms at the same time as the return of the swallow from Africa.

Dutch name : Bosanemoon
German name : Buschwindröschen
Latin name : Anemone nemorosa

Wenn ich auch nicht alle botanischen Namen behalten kann, so ist es doch ein Vergnügen, in deinem Buch zu blättern und zu geniessen!

Stunning shot! And a very beautiful flower! Thanks for the interesting info too - although I must admit I'm sad not to see any more swallows around

Ja, sie sind wahre Schönheiten, diese kleinen Anemonen - ganz Wälder haben z.Zt. einen fast weißen Boden - so dicht stehen sie mancherorts - einfach herrlich, wie sich die Natur jetzt zeigt!

LG!
Angelika
