Description
A beautiful assortment of wild flowers that I captured with all natural lighting. I then added digital effects to give the image the look of a painting. I love the antique tea cup I was able to use for this still life of flowers it really made this piece for me. The main flower in this image is a Anemone. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Greek anemone means "daughter of the wind", from �nemos the wind god "wind" + feminine patronymic suffix -one. The Metamorphoses of Ovid tells that the plant was created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her dead lover Adonis. The name "windflower" is used for the whole genus as well as the wood anemone A. nemorosa. Anemone are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire.
Flowers with 4�27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2�9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species.
The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped achenes that are collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks; though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them.
