Λαλέδα, Κούκος, Ανεμώνη η στεφανωματική
Etymology of Anemone coronaria: Anemone comes from the Ancient Greek female "ανεμώνη" [anemoni], from "άνεμος" and the female patronymic suffix "-ώνη", and literally means ''daughter of the wind''. The specific Latin epithet "coronaria" means "used for garlands", referring to its traditional usage to create garlands.
There are two Anemone species (kinds) in the wild Cypriot habitat, and the existence of a third kind in southeastern Cyprus (Anemone hortensis) is questionable.
Anemone coronaria is an extremely popular plant in Cyprus, it is likely impossible not to be noticed between January and March when it usually blooms. It grows at an altitude of up to 900 metres all around Cyprus, except for the southeastern part.
Anemone coronaria grows on grassy slopes, calcareous stony hillsides, woodland edges, damp grassland, cultivated land and roadsides. The existence of weeds in all these places affects its population negatively.
