A Greek legend says that the anemone was born after Adonis, beloved by Aphrodite, was killed in the forest on a wild boar hunt.  Aphrodite was so grief stricken that the gods took pity on her and allowed Adonis to spend each spring with her in the form of a flower, the anemone, rising from his blood.  We are looking up from the stem.  The light and colors are seen after it has passed through the delicate petals of this plant.
