Who would ever assume that these beautiful blooms are deadly poison? But also used for healing. Don't plant them when you have kids... they contain several poisonous substances such as Digitoxines, Gitaloxines, Gitarines, Digitalines and Gitoxines.

Anemone Blanda - A heavenly blue little Flower
This is another little plant that I could hardly identify - but I found it: Anemone blanda (Greek Thimbleweed) looks like a miniature of a marguerite but its a low growing plant which comes from southern Europe.
