Anemone.  

This just might be my favorite cut flower.  

Comes from the Greek word , "windflower", the petals close in the dark and the cool,

and opens with the light and the warmth. It is said that the anemone
sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of her lover, Adonis.

Represents anticipation. 

Rightly so, as when these flowers open, I feel a fresh flirt with spring.
