ADONIS FLOWER

Domain	Definition
Literature	Adonis Flower (The) according to Blon, is the rose; Pliny (i. 23) says it is the anemone; others say it is the field, poppy, certainly the prince of weeds; but what we now generally mean by the Adonis flower is pheasant's eye, called in French goute-de-sang, because in fable it sprang from the blood of the gored hunter. "(Blood brings forth roses, tears anemone.) - Bion: Elegy on Adonis. See also Ovid: Metamorphoses, Bk. x., Fable 15.). Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
