Flowers, defenseless in their fragility and so beautiful, not only delight the eye with their appearance, but also delight with an amazing aroma. And, of course, interesting legends are associated with the appearance of many of them.
Flower onomastics
What name of beautiful flowers comes to mind right away? Of course, roses, dahlias, phloxes, violets … And what do we know about the representatives of this plant kingdom? For example, wonderful peonies - lush, with a delicate smell, white, pink, burgundy. A bouquet of them is a wonderful decoration for a living room or dining room. But few people know the fascinating Moldavian fairy tale about the Spring Fairy, whom a young man named Bujor once met. The young people liked each other, but the harsh and evil Frost intervened in their relationship, who did not want to give up the land to Spring. He tried to destroy the Fairy, but the young man stood up for his beloved. He himself died, but did not give her offense. In memory of these lofty feelings in Moldova and Romania, the name of the beautiful flowers of peonies sounds like "bujora".
And the narcissus, another personification of spring? And interesting myths related to culture and culture have come down to us about him.beliefs of ancient Greece. After all, that was the name of a handsome young man, the son of the ruler of all lakes and rivers. He was really handsome, and broke many women's hearts. However, he was only interested in hunting, physical exercises. And then Echo, a cunning and treacherous nymph, decided to punish the stubborn. She bewitched Narcissus, and he fell in love with his own river reflection. Fell in love and died. And the name of beautiful flowers in memory of him remained: daffodils.
I would like to remember more such decorations of gardens and flower beds as lilies. There are many varieties, including brindle and white. Let's talk about whites in particular. Perhaps you have not heard that once they were inhabitants of other planets? Yes, just imagine! The god of love, Cupid, dreamed of meeting an extraordinary woman, who has no equal on Earth. His mother, Aphrodite, suggested that her son look for his dream among other worlds. The council was crowned with success: Amur came across extraordinary maidens with silver hair, skin whiter than snow and eyes like ice floes. However, they paid no attention to God. Aphrodite, offended by her son, turned the capricious women into lilies and sent them to Earth. Thus, the name of beautiful flowers reminds us that love can be formidable, insidious, dramatic.
The Art of Bouquets
What beautiful flowers (photos and names) can be given to women, which ones to men, and which ones are universal? For men, large ones with long stems are more suitable: irises, gladioli,phloxes, poppies. They are often presented with carnations. But gentler varieties are suitable for ladies: roses, tulips, lilacs.
Among the universal ones, one cannot fail to mention such beautiful names of flowers (plants) as gerberas. They resemble huge daisies or modest sunflowers. Red and orange are usually awarded to the male gender, and yellow, pink - to the female. The advantages of the bouquet are that gerberas stand for a long time when cut, retaining their attractiveness for at least 2 weeks. Of course, if you change the water regularly! When choosing flowers, do not forget about decorative greenery: it gives completeness and integrity to the composition.
Love flowers, grow them, they are the beauty of our planet!
