Title

Αnemone coronaria, Thematic Ιssue

Description

The Anemone coronaria is just one of more than 1150 species of wild flowers that are found in all regions of the island. Anemones come in a variety of delicate hues from pink to red, turquoise blue and white. They grow up to 30cm. high.

In springtime trekkers who are adventurous enough to tackle a 12 kilometer “Potamos Trail” in Pafos will be rewarded with dazzling sights and hillsides colourfully carpeted with anemones, poppies and orchids. Walkers and cyclists exploring Cape Greco National Forest Park will come across anemones unfurling their petals in the joys of sunshine.

Legend has it that Ares who had grown jealous of Aphrodite, disguised himself as a wild boar and killed her lover Adonis. Anemones sprang from the drops of his blood. (Robert Graves, the Greek Myths, Vol.1 page 74).
