Grecian windflower Etymology

Greek Mythology tells of Aphrodite’s lover Adonis who was injured by her ex. Aphrodite put nectar on his wounds and carried him from the woods. Crimson flowers bloomed where the nectar/blood mixture touched the ground. The Greeks called it the Windflower because when the wind blew it would blow the petals open and in turn, blow away the dead and dried up petals. What brings life also takes life away.1
