[edit] Spelling and pronunciation
"Anenome" is a common misspelling and mispronunciation of anemone.
Some people firmly believe that one spelling is correct for plants (the various species and hybrids of Anemone), and the other is for animals (various species of Sea anemone), but disagree over which is which; other people suggest that "anenome" is the valid common name for both groups of species.
Neither belief is true: the correct spelling for both is anemone, derived from the Gr. Άνεμος, (wind). The plants are often called "windflowers"; the sea creatures are named after them because of their supposed resemblance to the flowers or perhaps because of the way their tentacles move, as if blown by a gentle breeze.
