The anemone indicates fading hope and a feeling of having been forsaken. The victorians were hot on the language of flowers so it may have been given to a girl by a rejected beau . It also means daughter of the wind and the plant was created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her dead lover Adonis according to Ovid ..That's very romantic...

On second thoughts, I'm not so sure 'Helmet Flower' is that romantic
