"Anemone"


       Connie has an anemone flower growing in the front yard.  (Rhymes with Gethsemane, hegemony.)  Called the "wind flower," perhaps because its petals are lost easily to the wind; the root is from Greek anemos, wind.

       Sea anemones have resemblance to a flower, and the tentacles around their mouth move,  appearing to be influenced by water's flow.

       An anemometer measures the speed and force of the wind.

       "An Emone of the People" is a play by Ibsen.  No, that's just a joke.  It's "An Enemy of the People."
