The world around us is rich and diverse. This is especially true of the plant kingdom. Man managed to tame thousands of species, to withdraw independently in the process of their economic activity. But most of the flora grows in natural conditions.
Inhabitants of forests, steppes, coasts
What are wild plants? You always have examples before your eyes, just look around. You see, the cornflower and colza at the curb nod their heads to you? And there, in the shade, luxurious burdock grew, and then nettles ... Young mountain ash begins to blaze in the distance, chestnuts are ready to throw you ripe fruits, and in the forest, along with foliage, acorns from oak and nuts from hazel branches will fall under your feet. It seems that you already understood what wild plants are, examples helped you figure it out. So it can be said about all plant organisms that grow without human participation in the
natural environment. They are one-, two-, perennial, their sowing, growth are regulated by their own mechanisms that are not dependent on us.
Familiar strangers
Now let's get into more details. Recall
wild plants, examples of which are found all the time. In your yard, along roadways, in the garden among the beds you can often see very tenacious grass - knotweed. Often it becomes literally a scourge for gardeners and field breeders, because it is not so easy to get rid of this weed. However, very often wild plants turn out to be extremely useful to us, examples of this are provided by the same knotweed! He is simply adored by poultry; it is not for nothing that people call the grass a crowsman and a
bird highlander. And scientists have found that knotweed contains silicic acid, vitamin C, carotene, tannins, alkaloids, and much more. Therefore, grass preparations are carried out by special pharmacocenters, and on its basis they produce drops, tinctures, ointments for external and internal use. It is useful to bathe small children in bombshells. In general, if you list all the valuable wild plants, the list will be endless. Indeed, nature is a true storehouse of health, beauty and youth!
Blue delphinium and others ...
Residents of rural areas are well aware that excellent apples and pears grow not only in their gardens. In the forest you can collect wild animals that taste just as good as cultivars. Wild raspberries are often larger, more fragrant and sweeter than the one that a caring host planted in his berry. And wild strawberries in the clearing of the forest will not at all yield to garden strawberries. Widely known are also such wild
annual plants, such as, for example, delphinium (it is also field larva),
white gauze, dried flower and many others. Some of them are widely used by humans for decorative purposes, others - for medicinal purposes, and others - in nutrition. For example, ointments are made from the extracts of the stomach to soothe muscle pain. Decoctions are brewed from dried stems and leaves of the herb, helping with many diseases of the genitourinary system, as well as with jaundice. Delphinium also provides good support for headaches, pain in the liver, and other ailments.
Here they are, not wild at all, but very useful - plants of the surrounding nature!
