Who ever saw a wood anemone or a heath blossom in the wrong place?
No flowers could he see, but once or twice a wood anemone, and now and then a tiny grove of wood-sorrel.
It is said that the wood anemone never blossoms earlier than March 16, and never later than April 2.
If you dig up the wood anemone root you find that it is like a rough brown bit of stick.
The bainne-bo-bliatain (wood anemone) is good for the headache, if you put the leaves of it on your head.
Similar curious departure from the accustomed habitat of the wood–anemone has since been observed at Cheadle and at Alderley.
