Poppy Anemone
Anemone coronaria
Anemone coronaria, the poppy anemone or Spanish marigold, is a tuberous perennial in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), native to the Mediterranean basin from southern Europe to the Middle East. Each knobby, dormant tuber sends up finely divided, fern-like foliage followed by a single, poppy-shaped bloom on a slender stem -- typically red, white, blue, purple or pink, with a striking dark, almost black center. Widely grown both as a garden bedding plant and as a florist's cut flower, it flowers profusely in spring and, in mild climates, again in autumn, then dies back to its tuber to rest through the hottest or coldest months. It is easy to grow from soaked tubers but does carry mild toxicity, so it is best kept away from pets and curious children.
