Rose. Rose is one of the oldest and most magnificent flowers known since ancient times. The ancient Greeks and Romans admired the rose, and medieval minstrels sang its beauty. The monks grew it in monastery gardens and tried to develop new varieties. For many centuries, the rose has been a symbol of beauty; it was with this flower that the beauty of a woman was compared. The cultivation and selection of the best types of roses began in the Ancient East, China, India, and Asia Minor. But the actual breeding work on breeding rose hybrids began widely in European countries only in the 18th century.

Tulip The flower got its name from the Persian word “turban”. And indeed, in shape it resembles a kind of headdress. His homeland is Türkiye. The quality of wild species has been significantly improved here. In 1558, plants were brought to Austria, and then to Germany and England. At the beginning of the 17th century, they spread to Holland, where the passion for this flower assumed extraordinary proportions.

Chamomile Little sun or the queen of meadows and fields - this is the name of the ancestor of the chrysanthemum - chamomile. This is such an unusual and significant plant that, perhaps, there is no person on Earth who does not know what chamomile is. The history of the name “chamomile” suggests that this flower was previously called “romana grass”, and “romana”, translated from Polish, means “Roman”. This is how the name “chamomile” came into use in Russian.

Cornflower If poppy decorates the grain fields of our south, then their beauty in the north is cornflower. Lovely blue, like the southern sky, this flower serves as a necessary accessory and faithful companion of the rye field and is almost never found in the wild anywhere else; and even if it were found, it could serve as a sure indication that where it now grows there was once a grain field or a road that led to it.

Iris Snow-white and almost black, these flowers have absorbed all the colors of the rainbow. Translated from Latin, Iris means rainbow. And it is not surprising that the flower received such a name: the petals, or rather, the perianth lobes, are arranged in such a way that every detail is open to view. And in the rays of sunlight and in bright electric lighting, the iris flower seems to shine from the inside, emitting a glow.

Narcissus These are herbs equipped with dense bulbs and ribbon-shaped leaves of varying widths. Flowers sit on the tops of leafless stems, covered with a filmy sheath, one or several at a time. The perianth is petal-shaped, in the shape of a tubular funnel, turning at the top into a horizontally straightened or bent downward limb, consisting of 6 equal parts. In the vent there is a crown in the form of a bell or a more or less deep saucer. The ovules sit in several rows in each nest, attaching to the inner corners. The fruit is a three-lobed capsule, bursting along the valves into 3 parts. There are several or many seeds, they are spherical and contain protein.

Marigolds come from America, where they grow wild from New Mexico and Arizona to Argentina. More than 30 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants are known. The stems are erect, strong, forming compact or spreading bushes from 20 to 120 cm in height, with a pungent, peculiar odor. The marginal flowers are ligulate, with wide, horizontally spaced corollas; the middle ones are tubular. They bloom profusely from June until frost.

The bright yellow flower is unsightly: There is a cold surface on top of the leaves. Below is a gentle velvety layer, as if it would touch a mother warmly. Coltsfoot flowers are very similar to dandelion flowers. They are just as yellow. Dandelion leaves grow first, and only then flowers appear. But with coltsfoot it’s the other way around. She can sometimes meet spring under the snow. You dig up a snowdrift, and underneath it a yellow peephole peeks out.

Forget-me-not Forget-me-not is the smallest flower, but how many poems have poets written about it, how many legends and folk tales! Here's one of them. One day, the goddess of flowers, Flora, descended to earth and began to bestow names on flowers. She gave everyone gifts and wanted to leave, but heard a weak voice: “You forgot me, Flora, please give me a name.” Flora barely saw a small flower among the forbs. “Okay,” said Flora, “here’s your name. And I will also give you a miraculous power: you will restore the memory of those people who begin to forget their loved ones or their homeland.”

dandelion Dandelion is a herbaceous plant with a bitter milky sap. It feels before dawn what the coming day will be like. If it’s gloomy and rainy, then the flower – the sun – will never open. And if the weather promises to be good, the dandelion flowers will open by 6 o'clock in the morning. People say: “A golden eye looks at the sun. In nature, you can find dandelion everywhere, and in gardens it is a frequent uninvited guest. Because its seeds, equipped with a fluffy flying tuft, are easily dispersed by the wind, the dandelion quickly conquers territory both near and far around the mother plant. Active reproduction, adaptability to any soil and unpretentiousness, which is so valued among cultivated plants, have given the dandelion a bad reputation - it is considered a malicious weed...

Pansies An ancient legend tells that once upon a time there lived a beautiful woman, Anyuta. She fell in love with her cold-blooded seducer with all her soul. The young man broke the heart of a trusting girl, and she died of grief and melancholy. Violets painted in three colors grew on poor Anyuta’s grave. Each of them personified three feelings that she experienced: hope for reciprocity, surprise from an unfair insult and sadness from unrequited love. For the ancient Greeks, the colors of pansies were symbols of a love triangle. According to legend, Zeus took a liking to the daughter of the Argive king Io. However, Zeus' wife Hera turned the girl into a cow. Only after long wanderings did Io regain her human form. To please his beloved, the Thunderer grew tricolor violets for her. In Roman mythology, these flowers are associated with the image of Venus. The Romans believed that the gods turned men who secretly spied on the bathing goddess of love into pansies. Since ancient times, pansies have symbolized fidelity in love. Many peoples have customs associated with these flowers. For example, Polish girls gave their lover pansies if he was away for a long time. This symbolized the preservation of fidelity and love of the giver. It is no coincidence that in France tricolor violets were called “memory flowers.” In England, they were a “delight of the heart”, they were presented to each other by lovers on February 14 - Valentine's Day.

Aster The thin petals of the aster are a little reminiscent of the rays of distant stars, which is why the beautiful flower received the name “aster” (Latin aster - “star”). An ancient belief says that if you go out into the garden at midnight and stand among the asters, you can hear a quiet whisper. These flowers communicate with the stars. Already in Ancient Greece, people were familiar with the constellation Virgo, which was associated with the goddess of love Aphrodite. According to ancient Greek myth, the aster arose from cosmic dust when the Virgin looked from the sky and cried. For the ancient Greeks, the aster symbolized love. In China, asters symbolize beauty, precision, elegance, charm and modesty. For Hungarians, this flower is associated with autumn, which is why in Hungary the aster is called the “autumn rose”. In ancient times, people believed that if a few aster leaves were thrown into a fire, the smoke from the fire could drive away snakes. The aster flower is a symbol of women born under the astrological sign of Virgo.

Marigolds The plant received its Latin name in honor of the son of Genius and grandson of Jupiter - Tages (Tagetas). This character from ancient Greek mythology became famous for his ability to predict the future. Tages was a boy, but his intelligence was unusually high, and he had the gift of foresight. Similar myths existed among the Etruscans. Tages appeared to people in the form of a baby, whom a plowman found in a furrow. The child told people about the future of the world, taught them to tell fortunes from the entrails of animals, and then disappeared as unexpectedly as he had appeared. The predictions of the baby god were recorded in the prophetic books of the Etruscans and handed down to posterity. In China, marigolds are a symbol of longevity, which is why they are called “flowers of ten thousand years.” In Hinduism, this flower was personified with the god Krishna. In the language of flowers, marigolds mean fidelity.

Cornflower The Latin name of this plant is associated with the centaur Chiron - an ancient Greek mythological hero - half horse and half man. He had knowledge of the healing properties of many plants and with the help of cornflower he was able to recover from the wound inflicted on him by the poisoned arrow of Hercules. This was the reason for calling the plant centaurea, which literally means “centaur.” The origin of the Russian name for this plant explains an ancient folk belief. A long time ago, a beautiful mermaid fell in love with the handsome young plowman Vasily. The young man reciprocated her feelings, but the lovers could not agree on where to live - on land or in water. The mermaid did not want to part with Vasily, so she turned him into a wildflower, whose color resembled the cool blue of water. Since then, according to legend, every summer, when blue cornflowers bloom, mermaids weave wreaths from them and decorate their heads with them.

Delphinium Ancient Greek legends tell how Achilles, the son of Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis, fought under the walls of Troy. His mother gave him magnificent armor, forged by the blacksmith god Hephaestus himself. Achilles's only weak spot was his heel, by which Thetis held him as a child when she decided to immerse the baby in the sacred waters of the River Styx. It was in the heel that Achilles was struck by an arrow fired from a bow by Paris. After Achilles' death, his legendary armor was awarded to Odysseus rather than Ajax Telamonides, who considered himself second only to Achilles. In despair, Ajax threw himself on his sword. Drops of the hero's blood fell to the ground and turned into flowers, which we now call delphiniums. It is also believed that the name of the plant is associated with the shape of its flowers, which resemble the back of a dolphin. According to another ancient Greek myth, the cruel gods turned a young man into a dolphin, who sculpted his dead beloved and revived her. Every day he swam to the shore to meet his beloved, but could not find her. One day, standing on a rocky shore, a girl saw a dolphin. She waved to him and he swam towards her. In memory of his love, the sad dolphin threw a blue delphinium flower at her feet. For the ancient Greeks, delphinium symbolized sadness. According to Russian belief, delphiniums have medicinal properties, including helping to heal bones during fractures, which is why until recently in Russia these plants were called larkspur. Nowadays, the plant is more often called spur. In Germany, the popular name for delphinium is knight's spurs.

Iris The generic name of the plant comes from the Greek word iris - “rainbow”. According to ancient Greek mythology, the goddess of the rainbow, iris (Iris), fluttered across the sky on light, transparent, rainbow wings and carried out the orders of the gods. People could see it in raindrops or on a rainbow. A flower was named after the golden-haired iris, the shades of which were as magnificent and varied as the colors of the rainbow. The sword-shaped leaves of the iris symbolize courage and courage among the Japanese. This is probably why in Japanese “iris” and “warrior spirit” are denoted by the same hieroglyph. In Japan there is a holiday called Boys' Day. It is celebrated on May 5th. On this day, every Japanese family with a son displays many items depicting irises. The Japanese prepare a drink called “May pearls” from iris and orange flowers. In Japan, they believe that drinking this drink can instill courage in the souls of future men. In addition, according to Japanese beliefs, “May pearls” have medicinal properties and can cure many ailments. In Ancient Egypt, irises were considered a symbol of eloquence, and in the East they symbolized sadness, so white irises were planted on graves.

Calendula The scientific name calendula comes from the Latin word calendae, meaning the first day of each month. It can be assumed that the reason for identifying the plant with the beginning of a new cycle was its inflorescences, which constantly replace each other during flowering. The specific name of calendula - officinalis - is associated with its medicinal properties (from the Latin officina - “pharmacy”). Due to the peculiar shape of the fruit, calendula is popularly called marigold. An ancient legend about the origin of this name has been preserved in Russian folklore. It tells that a boy was born to a poor water family. He grew up sick and weak, so they called him not by his name, but simply by Zamorysh. When the boy grew up, he learned the secrets of medicinal plants and learned to use them to heal people. Sick people began to come to Zamorysh from all the surrounding villages. However, there was an evil man who was jealous of the doctor’s fame and decided to kill him. One day on a holiday he brought Zamorysh a cup of wine with poison. He drank, and when he felt that he was dying, he called people and bequeathed that after his death, the marigold from his left hand would be buried under the poisoner’s window. They fulfilled his request. A medicinal plant with golden flowers grew in that place. In memory of the good doctor, people called this flower marigold. The first Christians called calendula “Mary’s Gold” and decorated statues of the Savior’s mother with it. In ancient India, garlands were woven from calendula and decorated with statues of saints. Calendula is sometimes called the “bride of summer” because of the flower’s tendency to follow the sun.

Lily of the valley The generic name of the lily of the valley is translated as “lily of the valleys” (from the Latin ocnvallis - “valley” and the Greek lierion - “lily”) and hints at its habitat. The species name indicates that the plant blooms in May. In Bohemia (Czechoslovakia), lily of the valley is called tsavka - “bun”, probably because the flowers of the plant resemble round, delicious buns. According to the ancient Greek myth, the goddess of the hunt Diana was caught by fauns during one of her hunting trips. They waylaid her, but the goddess ran away. Droplets of sweat flew from her hot face. They were unusually fragrant. And where they fell, lilies of the valley grew. In Russian legends, the white flowers of the lily of the valley are called the tears of the sea princess Magi, who fell in love with the beautiful guslar Sadko. However, the young man’s heart belonged to his bride Lyubava. Having learned about this, the proud princess decided not to reveal her love. Only sometimes at night in the light of the moon could one see the beautiful Magus sitting on the shore of the lake and crying. Instead of tears, the girl dropped large white pearls to the ground, which, touching the ground, sprouted charming flowers - lilies of the valley. Since then, in Rus', the lily of the valley symbolizes hidden love. If the snow-white and fragrant flowers of the lily of the valley were personified with something joyful and beautiful, then its red berries in many cultures symbolized sadness for what was lost. One Christian legend tells that the red fruits of the lily of the valley came from the burning tears of the Most Holy Theotokos, which she shed while standing at the body of the crucified Christ.

Lily Ancient Greek myths attributed divine origin to the lily. According to one of them, one day the goddess Hera fed the baby Ares. Drops of splashed milk fell to the ground and turned into snow-white lilies. Since then, these flowers have become the emblem of the goddess Hera. Among the ancient Egyptians, the lily, along with the lotus, was a symbol of fertility. Christians also adopted their love for her, making her a symbol of the Virgin Mary. The straight stem of the lily represents her intelligence; drooping leaves - modesty, delicate aroma - divinity, white color - chastity. According to Holy Scripture, the lily was held by the Archangel Gabriel when he notified Mary of the imminent birth of Christ. There was a legend about the Siberian red lily, or saran, in Ancient Rus'. They said that it grew from the heart of a deceased Cossack who took part in the conquest of Siberia under the leadership of Ermak. People also called it “royal curls.”

Lotus Since time immemorial in Ancient Egypt, India and China, the lotus has been a particularly revered and sacred plant. Among the ancient Egyptians, the lotus flower symbolized the resurrection from the dead, and one of the hieroglyphs was depicted in the form of a lotus and meant joy. In ancient Greek mythology, the lotus was the emblem of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite. In ancient Greece, there were common stories about people eating lotus - “lotophagi”, or “lotus eaters”. According to legend, anyone who tastes lotus flowers will never want to part with the homeland of this plant. For many peoples, the lotus symbolized fertility, health, prosperity, longevity, purity, spirituality, hardness and the sun. In the East, this plant is still considered a symbol of perfect beauty. In the Assyrian and Phoenician cultures, the lotus personified death, but at the same time rebirth and future life. Among the Chinese, the lotus personified the past, present and future, since each plant simultaneously has buds, flowers and seeds.

Peony According to historical sources, peony got its name in honor of Paeonia, the area where one of its species originated. However, there are other versions. According to one of them, the name of this plant is associated with the name of a character in ancient Greek mythology - Peony, who was a talented student of the doctor Aesculapius. Once Peony cured the ruler of the underworld Pluto, who was wounded by Hercules. The miraculous healing of the ruler of the underworld aroused envy in Aesculapius, and he decided to kill his student. However, Pluto, who learned about the evil intentions of Aesculapius, in gratitude for the help provided to him, did not allow Peony to die. He turned a skilled doctor into a beautiful medicinal flower, named peony after him. In Ancient Greece, this flower was considered a symbol of longevity and healing. Gifted Greek doctors were called “Peonies”, and medicinal plants were called “Peonies herbs”. Another ancient legend tells how once the goddess Flora got ready to travel to Saturn. During her long absence, she decided to find an assistant. The goddess announced her intention to the plants. A few days later, Flora's subjects gathered at the edge of the forest to choose their temporary patron. All the trees, shrubs, grasses and mosses cast their vote in favor of the charming rose. Only one peony shouted that he was the best. Then Flora went up to the daring and stupid flower and said: “As a punishment for your pride, not a single bee will sit on your flower, not a single girl will pin it on her chest.” Therefore, among the ancient Romans, the peony personified pomp and arrogance.

Rose People have sung the Queen of flowers - the rose - since ancient times. They created many legends and myths about this magnificent flower. In ancient culture, the rose was a symbol of the goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. According to ancient Greek legend, Aphrodite was born from the sea off the southern coast of Cyprus. At this moment, the perfect body of the goddess was covered with snow-white foam. It was from this that the first rose with dazzling white petals arose. The gods, seeing a beautiful flower, sprinkled it with nectar, which gave the rose a delightful aroma. The rose flower remained white until Aphrodite learned that her lover Adonis was mortally wounded. The goddess ran headlong to her beloved, not noticing anything around. Aphrodite didn't notice how she stepped on the sharp thorns of roses. Drops of her blood sprinkled the snow-white petals of these flowers, turning them red. There is an ancient Hindu legend about how the god Vishnu and the god Brahma started a dispute about which flower was the most beautiful. Vishnu preferred the rose, and Brahma, who had never seen this flower before, praised the lotus. When Brahma saw the rose, he agreed that this flower was more beautiful than all the plants on earth. Thanks to its perfect form and wonderful aroma, the rose has symbolized paradise for Christians since ancient times.

Legend of the poppy When the Lord created the earth, animals and plants, everyone was happy except Night. No matter how hard she tried to dispel her deep darkness with the help of stars and glowing bugs, she hid too many of the beauties of nature, thereby pushing everyone away from her. Then the Lord created Sleep, dreams and daydreams, and together with the Night they became welcome guests. Over time, passions awoke in people, one of the people even planned to kill his brother. The dream wanted to stop him, but the man's sins prevented him from approaching. Then Sleep, in anger, stuck his magic rod into the ground, and Night breathed life into it. The rod took root, turned green and, retaining its sleep-inducing power, turned into a poppy. The poppy served as a symbol of fertility due to its great fertility. Therefore, it is a permanent attribute of Hera (Juno) - the goddess of fertility and marriage.

The Legend of Narcissus There is a myth about the origin of the narcissus. The river god Kephissus had a son, a beautiful young man, who rejected the love of the nymph Echo. For this he was punished: when he saw his own reflection in the water, he fell in love with it. Tormented by an unquenchable passion, he died, and in his memory there remained a beautiful, fragrant flower, the corolla of which bends downward, as if wanting to admire itself in the water once again. Currently, the British are especially keen on growing daffodils. They have the same interest in daffodils as two hundred years ago in Holland they had in tulips and hyacinths.

Legends about carnations In ancient times, carnations were called the flowers of Zeus; the name of the flower comes from the Greek words Di-Zeus and anthos - flower, which can be translated as the flower of Zeus, or the divine flower. Carl Linnaeus kept the name Dianthus for the flower, i.e. divine flower. An ancient Greek myth tells about the origin of cloves. One day, the goddess of the hunt Diana (Artemis), returning very irritated after an unsuccessful hunt, met a handsome shepherd who was cheerfully playing a merry song on his pipe. Beside herself with anger, she reproaches the poor shepherd for dispersing the game with his music and threatens to kill him. The shepherd makes excuses, swears that he is not guilty of anything and begs her for mercy. But the goddess, unconscious of rage, pounces on him and tears out his eyes. Only then does she come to her senses and comprehend the full horror of the crime committed. Then, in order to immortalize those eyes that looked at her so pitifully, she throws them onto the path, and at that very moment two red carnations grow out of them, reminiscent of the color of innocently shed blood. The bright crimson carnation flowers resemble blood. And in fact, this flower is associated with a number of bloody events in history. In the culture of modern times, carnation was considered as a “flower of fire”, “flower of struggle”. This flower also plays an outstanding role in some of the bloody events in France. The legend about the extraordinary healing properties of this plant. The first appearance of the carnation dates back to the time of Louis IX Saint in 1297. It was brought to France from the last crusade, when French troops besieged Tunisia for a long time. A terrible plague broke out among the crusaders. People were dying like flies, and all the doctors' efforts to help them were in vain. Saint Louis was convinced that there should be an antidote in nature against this disease. He had some knowledge of medicinal herbs and decided that in a country where this terrible disease so often rages, in all likelihood there should be a plant that cures it. And so he stopped his attention on one lovely flower. Its beautiful color, strongly reminiscent of the spicy Indian clove, and its smell suggest that this is exactly the plant he needs.

He orders to pick as many of these flowers as possible, makes a decoction of them and begins to give it to those who are sick. Clove decoctions cured many soldiers from illnesses, and soon the epidemic stopped. Unfortunately, however, he does not help when the king himself falls ill with the plague, and Louis IX becomes its victim. The carnation was the favorite flower of the Prince of Condé (Louis!! of Bourbon) Due to the intrigues of Cardinal Mazarin, he was imprisoned. There, under the window, he grew carnations. His wife, meanwhile, raised an uprising and achieved his release. Since then, the red carnation has become the emblem of the adherents of Condé and the entire House of Bourbon, from which it comes. During the French Revolution of 1793, innocent victims of the Terror, going to the scaffold, decorated themselves with a red carnation, wanting to show that they were dying for their king. French girls, seeing off their boyfriends to war or the army, also gave them bouquets of scarlet carnations, thereby expressing the wish that their loved ones return unharmed and undefeated. Warriors believed in the miraculous power of cloves and wore them as a talisman. The carnation also suited the Italians. Her image was included in the state emblem, and girls considered the carnation to be a mediator of love: for a young man going to battle, they pinned the flower to his uniform to protect him from danger. This flower was considered a protective talisman of love in Spain. Spanish women managed to secretly arrange dates with their gentlemen, pinning carnations of different colors on their chests for this occasion. In Belgium, the carnation is considered the flower of the poor or common people, a symbol of a comfortable home. Miners breed it. Parents present a bouquet of flowers to their daughter who is getting married. Carnations are a decoration for dining tables. In England and Germany, for a long time, carnations were considered a symbol of love and purity, as told in folk legends, as well as in the works of William Shakespeare and Julius Sachs. Goethe called the carnation the personification of friendship and perseverance. She was glorified in immortal paintings by artists Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rembrandt, Rubens and Goya. It was the Germans who gave the flower the name “clove” - for the similarity of its aroma with the smell of the spice, dried buds of the clove tree; from German this designation passed into Polish, and then into Russian.

The legend of ginseng They say that ginseng began to be used 3000 years ago. And he appeared on Earth like this: somehow lightning struck a stream. The water dried up, and in the place where it landed, a plant appeared that absorbed the power of fire. Ginseng root is literally "man root." Once upon a time in China there lived a half man, half plant named Ginseng. And he had the powerful ability to transform into an animal, a plant, or a human. This is what an old Chinese legend tells about him. There lived in ancient China a kind man named Ginseng. People noticed that the years did not cast their shadow on him. When this man's centenary arrived, he was asked how he managed to live to such a age and at the same time maintain youth in soul and body. “I am a brother to all living things and I help everyone,” was the answer. But this remained unclear to people and they began to persecute Ginseng. Out of his kindness, he could not enter into an argument with them and, in despair, turned to his mother, the taiga, with a request to help him. Taiga understood her son and protected him from people’s envy, and in the thicket of the forest an inconspicuous stem appeared with a root of extraordinary healing power. However, even there, pretending to be a plant, he could not hide from human eyes.

The Legend of Lilacs There is a legend about the origin of lilacs. The goddess of spring woke up the Sun and his faithful companion Iris (rainbow), mixed the rays of the sun with the colorful rays of the rainbow, began to generously sprinkle them on fresh furrows, meadows, tree branches - and flowers appeared everywhere, and the earth rejoiced with this grace. So they reached Scandinavia, but the rainbow had only purple paint left. Soon there were so many lilacs here that the Sun decided to mix the colors on the Rainbow palette and began to sow white rays, so the white one joined the purple lilac. The homeland of lilac is Persia. It came to Europe only in the 16th century. In England, lilac is considered a flower of misfortune. An old English proverb says that he who wears a lilac will never wear a wedding ring.

Legends about primrose (primrose) Primrose is also called primrose, as it appears in the spring among the first flowers. In Germany, these flowers are called keys for their resemblance to a bunch of old church keys. In the Middle Ages, a legend arose about the origin of these flowers. One day, the Apostle Peter, standing guard at the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven, was informed that someone was trying to enter heaven without permission. The Apostle, in fright, dropped a bunch of golden keys, which fell to the ground, cut deeply into it, and from there grew a yellow flower, similar to the Apostle’s keys. Although the angel sent by St. Peter for the keys, took them, but there were prints on the ground from which flowers grow, which open the door to warm weather and summer for us... Primrose is credited with the magical property of opening hidden treasures. According to legend, a woman dressed in white appears in the fields with a golden key. All primroses picked in her presence have the ability to reveal treasures hidden deep underground. At the same time, she says that a person can take any wealth, but let him not forget “the best” - meaning a flower, so that he can use it next time. There is another legend about the origin of primrose. In one of the beautiful meadows there lived a blond elf princess who fell in love with a handsome young man, but for some reason he did not notice her. In desperation, the princess asked the sorceress for the young man to reciprocate her feelings. And the sorceress turned the princess into a primrose - a flower that blooms first in the spring, and it is absolutely impossible to pass by it. Since then, the village youth come to admire these flowers as soon as the snow melts.

Legends about gladiolus The name gladiolus comes from the Latin word gladus - “sword”. Translated from Latin, gladiolus means “small sword.” In Ancient Greece, gladiolus was called xythion, which also meant “sword.” This name is due to the fact that this plant has straight sword-shaped leaves reaching a length of 80 cm. Before its cultivation, gladiolus was not decorative plant. During Theophrastus's time, around 300 BC, it was considered a troublesome weed of grain crops, but its ground bulbs could be baked into flat cakes with the addition of flour. There are many legends and beliefs associated with gladioli. An ancient Roman legend says that if you hang the roots of a gladiolus on your chest like amulets, they will not only protect you from death, but will also help you win a fight. In medieval Europe, landsknechts wore gladioli corms as amulets, as they believed that they made them invincible and protected them from injury. It was believed that the magical power of corms lies in the mesh “armor” - the rib of dead covering leaves. In the 17th and 18th centuries, healers attributed medicinal properties to gladioli. Corms were recommended to be added to milk for infants and used against toothache.

Presentation on the topic: “Garden flowers”

Prepared by Victoria Mirzayants, 4th grade student of progymnasium No. 2 in Volgograd, 2008.

Slide 2

A little bit about yourself

Hello! My name is Vika. I am a 4th grade student at gymnasium No. 2. I really like to draw, dance and work on environmental issues. And that's why I chose this topic!

Viola is the old Roman name for violet, used by Virgil, Pliny and other authors of that era. Violet or otherwise viola is the favorite flower of various peoples. Pansy - the Russians affectionately call violet. Violets are one of the oldest garden crops. Already about 2,400 years ago, the ancient Greeks and Romans wove violets into wreaths and garlands to decorate rooms during holidays and dinner parties. Annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous plants. The leaves are arranged in a regular order or collected in a basal rosette. The flowers are solitary, the lower petals are larger than the rest, with a spur or sac-like outgrowth at the base, the rest with marigolds, white, blue, yellow, red. The fruit is a capsule. In 1 g there are up to 800 seeds that remain viable for up to 2 years. The genus includes more than 450 species distributed throughout the globe.

Slide 7

The name comes from the Greek word "anemos" - wind. Flower petals of most species easily fall off in the wind. The genus includes about 150 species of herbaceous perennial plants, distributed in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere (several species grow in North Africa). Rhizomatous and tuberous perennials from 10 cm to 100 cm tall. Leaves are palmately dissected or divided. Flowers solitary or in few-flowered umbels. Stamens and pistils are numerous. The colors of the flowers are bright, white, pink, red, blue, indigo or yellow. They usually bloom in early spring, some species in summer, others in autumn. The fruit is a multi-nut with a short nose. Anemones interested flower growers back in the Middle Ages with their grace, tenderness, and responsiveness during cultivation. Most of them bloom in early spring, when a period of warmth and light sets in after a long, dark winter, and people are missing flowers.

Slide 9

The ancient Latin name for this plant, "vinca" means to entwine. Like the fragrant violet, it is the first to bloom in the spring, but few people pay attention to it. According to legend, he complained about his fate to the goddess Flora, and she gave him flowers larger and a life longer than that of a violet, and gave the modest messenger of spring the name Pervinka (victorious). The unfading plant has long been attributed special magical powers. In Austria and Germany, periwinkle wreaths were used for fortune telling for marriage; hung above the windows, they protected the house from lightning strikes. Flowers collected between the Dormition and the Nativity of the Virgin Mary had the property of driving away all evil spirits: they were worn on oneself or hung over the front door. In the Middle Ages, in court, periwinkle was used to check whether the accused had a connection with the devil. The periwinkle owes all these magical properties to its amazing vitality - it lives as long as there is even a drop of water left in the vase, and if you take it out of the vase and stick it into the ground, it will quickly take root.

Slide 11

Named after the beautiful mythological youth - Hyacinth. There are different views on the taxonomy of the genus. According to some researchers, it has up to 30 species, others consider it monotypic, i.e. with one species, but which has a large number of varieties and forms. Grows wildly in the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia. The hyacinth bulb, unlike the tulip, which grows a new replacement bulb every year, is perennial and should be handled very carefully. In the center of the bottom there is a renewal bud containing the rudiments of leaves and flowers. In 1543, bulbs from Asia Minor were brought to Northern Italy, to the then famous Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico) of Padua.

Slide 12

Slide 13

Named after the Finnish botanist Andreas Dahl, a student of Carl Linnaeus. The Russian name is given in honor of the St. Petersburg botanist, geographer and ethnographer I. Georgi. The genus unites, according to various sources, from 4 to 24 species, distributed mainly in the mountainous regions of Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. Perennial plants with fleshy, tuberous-thickened roots. The above-ground part of the plants dies every year up to the root collar. Stems are straight, branched, smooth or rough, hollow, up to 250 cm tall. The leaves are pinnate, less often entire, 10-40 cm long, varying degrees of pubescence, green or purple, located opposite. Inflorescences are baskets. The marginal flowers are ligulate, large, of various colors and shapes; the middle ones are tubular, golden-yellow or brown-red. The fruit is an achene. There are about 140 seeds in 1 g, which remain viable for up to 3 years. Dahlias have no scent, but there are botanical species that have a delicate, pleasant aroma.

Slide 14

IRIS, or IRIS family. Irmaaceae

Slide 15

The name was given by Hippocrates, "iris" translated from ancient Greek means rainbow. The variety and richness of colors of the flowers of these plants is rightfully compared to the most beautiful natural phenomenon. In Greek mythology, this was the name of the goddess who descended from Olympus to Earth to announce to people the will of the gods. According to legend, the first iris flower bloomed in ancient times in southeast Asia; everyone admired its beauty - animals, birds, waters, winds - and when its seeds ripened, they spread them all over the world. The Romans gave one of the cities the name Florence (Blooming) only because its surroundings were strewn with irises. Irises were revered in Arabia and Ancient Egypt, where they were bred in the 15th-14th centuries BC. e.; In Japan, magical amulets were made from irises and oranges for boys, protecting against diseases and instilling courage. Irises have been cultivated for more than two thousand years; they are valued not only for the beauty and aroma of flowers, but also for the aroma of the root (extracts from it are used in the perfume industry, in the manufacture of wine, vodka and confectionery). The roots of the Djungarian iris are used for tanning leather, and ropes and mats are woven from the leaves.

Slide 18

The name of the genus comes from the Latin word “calendae” - the first day of each month and is explained by the fact that in its homeland it blooms almost all year, including on the first days of each month. Culendula is grown mainly as an ornamental plant, but its bright, flaming inflorescences contain substances that have effective healing properties for many diseases. Over the centuries, calendula has been used by such luminaries as the Roman physician Galen (there is still the term “galenic preparations” in medicine), Abu Ali Ibn Sina (Avicenna), the Armenian physician Amirovlad Amasiatsi (15th century) and the famous herbalist Nicholas Culpeper. Calendula was used not only as a medicine, but also as a vegetable. In the Middle Ages, it was added to soup, oatmeal was cooked with it, dumplings, puddings and wine were made. For a long time it was considered a “spice for the poor”: calendula was widely available and, replacing saffron, it perfectly tinted dishes yellow-orange, giving them a unique tart taste, which was greatly appreciated not only by the poor, but also by rich gourmets. Due to its benefits, calendula was very popular in European gardens. It was the favorite flower of the Queen of Navarre, Margaret of Valois. In the Luxembourg Gardens, in Paris, there is a statue of the Queen holding a marigold.

The beginning of the cultivation of clematis in Western Europe dates back to the 16th century, and in Japan the culture of clematis has an even longer history. In Russia, clematis appeared at the beginning of the 19th century as greenhouse plants. Active work on the cultivation and introduction of clematis in our country began to develop only in the middle of the 20th century. And as a result of breeding work, beautiful varieties and forms were created, which further emphasize the unique charm of these magnificent plants. All varieties are divided into groups: Jacquemana, Vititsella, Lanuginosa, Patens, Florida, Integrifolia - vigorous shrubs or shrubby vines with large flowers of various colors.

Slide 21

Slide 22

The name comes from the Latin word "campana" - bell, based on the shape of the rim. People have loved this flower since ancient times, as evidenced by the affectionate names given to it in different localities: birdseeds, chebotki, bells, chenilles... And according to popular belief, they ring only once a year - on the magical night before Ivan Kupala. The genus includes about 300 species, distributed in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, mainly in Western Europe, the Caucasus and Western Asia. For the most part, these are perennial plants, tall, medium-sized and low-growing. Growing bells in your garden is not at all difficult. They are unpretentious, cold-resistant, resistant to diseases and pests. The variety of flower colors, shape and height of the bush, abundant and long-lasting flowering make it possible to widely use bells in urban landscaping and in the garden

Slide 23

Slide 24

The name comes from the Greek word "kroke" - thread. Saffron - from the Arabic "sepheran" - yellow, for the color of the pistil columns; in the east they are used as a natural food coloring. The genus includes about 80 species, distributed in the subtropical and temperate zones of the Mediterranean, Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central and Western Asia. About half of the species composition is widely used in floriculture. Currently, about 300 varieties of crocuses are represented in the International Register. All varieties and types are divided into 15 groups. They grow well in illuminated, sun-warmed areas. In the shade, the flowers do not open fully. During the period of vegetative dormancy, they need a dry environment. They usually do not suffer from spring and autumn frosts.

Slide 25

Slide 26

The name comes from the Greek word "kosmeo" - decoration. Associated with the shape of the flower. Homeland - subtropical and tropical regions of America. About 20 species are known. Annual and perennial herbaceous plants, often tall. The leaves are arranged oppositely, doubly pinnately dissected into narrow, linear to filiform lobes.

The marginal flowers are ligulate, large, purple, pink, dark red, white or golden yellow; the middle ones are tubular, small, yellow. The fruit is a somewhat curved, gray, dark yellow or brown achene. In 1 g there are up to 250 seeds, the germination of which lasts 2-3 years. Those who like lush, intense flowering have appreciated cosmos for a very long time. Cosmea is good to plant in the background of the border. The background formed by its finely dissected pinnate leaves and numerous inflorescences looks very informal.

Slide 27

Slide 28

The name comes from the ancient Greek name for this plant, “linon” - flax. The genus includes about 230 species of annual and perennial herbaceous or semi-shrub plants, distributed in temperate and subtropical regions of the globe, primarily the Mediterranean. The leaves are sessile, arranged in alternate order, less often opposite or in whorls, entire with or without stipules. The flowers are white, yellow, blue, pink, red, reddish-violet, in various inflorescences. The fruit is a round or ovoid capsule with flat, smooth seeds. Several species are used in ornamental gardening. Of the annual flaxes - large-flowered flax (L. grandiflorum). Of the perennials - Austrian flax (L. austriacum), yellow flax (L. flavum), perennial flax (L. perenne), Taurian flax (L. tauricum), etc.

Slide 29

Slide 30

The name of the genus comes from the Greek word "bellus" - beautiful. The genus includes about 30 species growing in Transcaucasia, Crimea, Western Europe, Asia Minor, and North Africa. Plants are perennial and annual, herbaceous with a rosette of spatulate or spatulate-obovate leaves at the base of long, leafless peduncles.

Reed flowers are located along the edge, of various colors, tubular flowers are small, in the center of the inflorescence. Blooms in April-May. The fruit is an achene. There are up to 7500 seeds in 1 g, which remain viable for 3-4 years. In decorative floriculture, 1 species is used - perennial daisy (B. perennis)

Slide 31

Slide 32

Scientific name - Narcissus poeticus. Comes from the Greek word "narkao" - to stupefy, to stun, which is probably associated with the bulbs, the poisonous properties of which have been known since ancient times, or may be associated with the intoxicating smell of the flowers. The second word of the name - poeticus (poetic) is due to the fact that it was so sung by poets of all countries and centuries, like no other plant, except perhaps the rose. The narcissist plays a significant role in the Muslim tradition. Mohammed said about the flower: “Whoever has two loaves of bread, let him sell one to buy a narcissus flower, for bread is food for the body, and narcissus is food for the soul.” In Ancient Greece, the perception of the narcissist was completely different. There his image acquired the symbolic meaning of a narcissistic person. Some types of daffodils contain essential oil, and the bulbs contain alkaloids, so daffodils have long been widely used in perfumery and medicine.

Slide 33

Sunflower is perhaps one of the most beloved plants in Russia. There are no vegetable gardens in the countryside where this giant does not show off among the parsley, carrots and beets. However, the birthplace of sunflowers, like corn, potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco, is America. This plant has not been found in the wild outside the New World. The name comes from a combination of two Greek words “helios” - sun and “anthos” - flower. This name was not given to it by chance. Huge sunflower inflorescences, bordered by bright radiant petals, really resemble the sun. In addition, this plant has the unique ability to turn its head after the sun, tracing its entire path from sunrise to sunset. Use for group plantings, mixborders, cutting. For tall hedges, tall varieties are planted in the background, and bushy, low-growing ones in the foreground. The “kids” will hide the lower “ankle” part of the giant stems. The “Teddy Bear” variety, which grows well in boxes and pots, is suitable for the balcony. In Europe, sunflower is also common as a cutting plant. You can even buy it on the street, not to mention in shops selling plants. "

The name comes from the ancient Greek "skilla" - from the name of "sea onion" (Urginea maritima), a plant that was previously classified in this genus. Description: the genus includes more than 80 species, distributed in temperate and subtropical regions of Europe, Asia and South Africa. Low perennial bulbous plants that bloom very early. The leaves are linear, basal, appear simultaneously with the inflorescences or much earlier. Peduncles are leafless. The flowers are collected in apical racemes or solitary, bluish, purple, white, pink. Scilla are wonderful plants, without which it is difficult to imagine a spring garden. Bright blue spots of scylla are like pieces of the spring sky that have fallen in a clearing or among bushes. They prefer shady places, but they also grow well in lighted ones. Frost-resistant. Flowering scillas are especially beautiful in combination with other herbaceous perennial plants, for example, peonies, ferns, when the leaves have not yet had time to unfurl. Snowdrops and crocuses that bloom at the same time are often planted in front of groups of woodlands.

Slide 41

The name comes from the Old Persian "wrodon", which in Greek became "rhodon" and in Latin became "rosa". Wild roses, often called wild roses in Russian, grow naturally in the temperate and warm climates of the Northern Hemisphere. Systematically, the rose genus is one of the most complex in the family. It contains about 250 species, grouped into sections that differ in a number of morphological characters. These are easily cultivated plants, they are widely used in green construction, in particular, when creating soil protective plantings. Drought-resistant and undemanding to soil conditions. Rose hips, which gave rise to more than 200 thousand varieties of beautiful roses, have lived on Earth for almost 40 million years and a significant part of this time in friendship with humans. They brought a lot of good to people and, like a wonderful gift, a beautiful and fragrant, noble rose. However, wild roses are not inferior in beauty and aroma to many cultivated garden varieties. They are worthy of the widest use in landscaping our cities.

Slide 43

Named in honor of the Swedish botanist and teacher of Carl Linnaeus - Olaf Rudbeck. (Olaf Rudbeck (1630-1702) - professor, taught medicine and botany at Uppsala University. His interests included: botany, zoology, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, mechanics, chemistry, etc. He was the mentor and friend of the young Carl Linnaeus. Famous as the discoverer of the human lymphatic system in 1653. Great-great-great-grandfather of Alfred Nobel). Such bright plants could not help but attract the attention of white settlers in North America. And now “Black-eyed-Susan”, as the Americans called it because of the dark centers of the inflorescences, flaunts in the front gardens of the first settlements, and its seeds are sent to Europe. The bright sunny inflorescences of rudbeckia are loved in many countries, where they are given affectionate folk names. So, the Germans call it “Sun Cap”, because in their minds the inflorescences-baskets resemble a straw hat.

The name comes from the Persian word meaning turban, turban and is given for the shape of the flower. The genus includes about 140 species of herbaceous perennial bulbous plants that grow in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The brightness of colors, elegance of form and ease of cultivation have made the tulip one of the most favorite garden flowers. In terms of landscaping gardens and parks, the tulip is a universal plant; its scope of use is very wide: tulips are planted in flower beds and borders, under trees and on alpine hills, they decorate balconies and are planted in flowerpots on the streets. A wide variety of modern varieties can satisfy the most demanding tastes of gardeners.
