🇬🇧🇪🇸 anemone - anémona : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "anemone" ("anémona"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
An anemone is a small plant that grows in the ground and has brightly colored flowers, often red, blue, purple, or white. Many anemones grow wild in forests and fields, and people also plant them in gardens because they are so pretty. They usually have thin, delicate petals that can look a bit like a star or a poppy. Some kinds pop up in early spring, so they are often one of the first flowers you see after winter.

I tried to race the anemone, but it refused to move.
I put a sign by the anemone that says “Do Not Eat,” mostly to remind myself.
Some anemone flowers are called “windflowers” because their name comes from a Greek word for wind—so when they wiggle in the breeze, they’re basically doing what they’re named for.
