The wood anemone is one of our most com­mon spring flow­ers. Anemone nemorosa, as it is known, belongs to the fam­ily Ranun­cu­laceae. Its genus name, anemone nemorosa, comes from the Greek, with amon mean­ing “from the root” and nemos mean­ing “grove.” This is a ref­er­ence to its home in the shady and most soil of groves, forests and pas­tures. In Linnaeus’s time the flower was called “vit­lock,” but in Eng­lish, anemone nemorosa is gen­er­ally called the wood anemone or wind flower, and its annual blooms are a major part of the spring land­scape in many places.
