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, a rose, a dahlia, phlox, violets ... And what do we know about the representatives of this
kingdom of plants? For example, wonderful peonies - lush, with a delicate smell, white, pink, burgundy. A bouquet of them is a wonderful decoration of the living room or dining room. But few people know a fascinating Moldavian
fairy tale about Fairy Spring, which a young man named Buzhor met once. Young people liked each other, but the harsh and evil Frost, who did not want to give ground to Spring, interfered in their relations. He tried to destroy Fairy, but stood up for his beloved youth. He died, but did not give her an insult. In memory of these high feelings in Moldova and Romania, the name of the
beautiful peony flowers sounds like "bouzhor".
And daffodil, another personification of spring? And about him interesting myths have come down to us related to the culture and beliefs of Ancient Greece. Indeed, that was the name of the young handsome man, the son of the lord of all lakes and rivers. He was really handsome, and broke a lot of female hearts. However, he was only interested in hunting, physical exercises. And then Echo, the nymph cunning and treacherous, 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 recall such ornaments of gardens and flower beds as lilies. There are many varieties, including tiger and white. We’ll talk about whites especially. Perhaps you have not heard that they were once inhabitants of other planets? Yes, imagine! The God of love, Cupid, dreamed of meeting an extraordinary woman, whose equal is not on Earth. His mother, Aphrodite, invited her son to look for his dream among other worlds. The council was successful: Amur came across unusual virgins with silver hair, skin whiter than snow and eyes like ice. However, they did not pay attention to God. Aphrodite, offended for her son, turned the caprices into lilies and sent them to Earth. Thus, the name of beautiful flowers reminds us that love is formidable, treacherous, dramatic.
The art of composing a bouquet
What beautiful flowers (photos and names) can be given to women, which to men, and which are universal? For men, large, with long stems are more suitable: irises, gladiolus, phlox, poppies. Often presented with cloves. But for ladies, grades are more suitable: roses, tulips, lilacs.
Among the universal, one cannot fail to mention such beautiful names of flowers (plants) as gerberas. They resemble huge chamomiles or modest sunflowers. Red and orange are usually given to the male gender, and yellow and pink to the female. The advantages of the bouquet are that gerberas stand cut for a long time, retaining their attractiveness for at least 2 weeks. Of course, if you regularly change the water! When choosing flowers, do not forget about decorative greenery: it gives the composition completeness and integrity.
Love the flowers, plant them, they are the decoration of our planet!
