anemones
Tentacled marine polyps
Anemones are sea creatures with soft, tubular bodies and rings of tentacles that wave like flower petals, or the flowering plants they're named after.
Sea anemones attach to rocks and coral, stinging prey that brushes their tentacles.
The flowers, also called windflowers, bloom in early spring in woodland and garden settings: The anemones are coming up along the fence.
