'''''[[Anemonoides blanda]]''''', the Balkan anemone, Grecian windflower, or winter windflower, is a species of [[flowering plant]] in the family [[Ranunculaceae]]. The species is native to [[southeast Europe]] and the [[Middle East]]. It grows up to 10 to 15 centimetres (4 to 6 inches) tall and is valued for its [[Bellis perennis|daisy]]-like flowers, which appear in early spring, a time when little else is in flower. The flowers are found in various colors and are radially symmetrical, containing seven or more [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s. This purple ''A.&nbsp;blanda'' flower was photographed in [[Bamberg]], Germany.
