adonis_(flower)
A genus of about 20-30 species of flowering plants of the crowfoot family, Ranunculaceae, native to Europe and Asia. Their flowers are red, yellow or orange and have 5-30 petals with feathery, finely divided leaves that form a fluffy collar around each individual flower.
Commonly depicted members of the genus are Adonis amurensis, a perennial plant with a double-flowered yellow flower that has around 20-24 petals each, and Adonis ramosa. Their Japanese name "Fukujusō" means "fortune-longevity-plant", so they’re also used for planting at New Year's parties.
