🜱 Expect more here soon regarding Adonis and the anemone.

In Fabre d'Églantine's 1793 rural emblem annex to the French Republican calendar, Anémone is the emblem of 27 Germinal (16 April).

🜱 There are very distinct words in period French for different species of anemone, illuminated by these resources. For example, 'coquelourde' is used by the La Tour source and the LAM source, and correlates with Pulsatilla vernalis (Pasqueflower). I have also seen d'Eglantine use 'silvye', which appears to be a variation on 'anémone silvie', used for Anemone nemorosa (which I have grouped under Wood anemone).
