Anemone-the story behind the anemone flower
As soon as Adonis was born. the baby was so beautiful that Aphrodite placed him in a closed chest, which she delivered for security to Persephone, who was also entranced by his unearthly beauty and refused to give him back. The argument between the goddess of love and the goddess of death was settled by Zeus, with Adonis spending six months with Aphrodite, who seduced him with the help of Helene, her friend, and six months with Persephone.[6]
Adonis died at the tusks of a wild boar, sent by either Artemis in retaliation for Aphrodite instigating the death of Hippolytus, a favorite of the huntress goddess, or Aphrodite's paramour, Ares.[7] As Aphrodite sprinkled nectar on his body, each drop of Adonis' blood turned into a blood-red anemone, and the river Adonis (modern Nahr Ibrahim) flowing out of Mount Lebanon in coastal Lebanon ran red, according to Lucian (chs. 6 – 9). Therefore, Persephone ultimately laid claim to Adonis as his shade was transported forever more to the Underworld

hyde's lyrics-anemone l'rc n ciel
"Surrounded by the kindness of the dear people,
I take off towards you.
With those shining memories engraved in my heart,
The wind pushes me to the road,
which continues to the port.
I think of that dear person.
My feelings will last through the winter.
The glorious winter.
Ah.The boat leaves for a destination unknown
Without waiting for the flowers to bloom.
No one will put out the quietly burning flame.
The little ship crossing the seas,
Seeks a far away land with all its hope.
Ah, my wish is but one,
To entrust my eternal vow with those hands.
Now the sounding of the bell tells me its time.
Ah anemone.Ah my anemone.
I'm taking off to you towards the time
When that hill blooms red.
I'm taking off toward you,Ah, toward you."
