- "Spring flowers"
...When the flowers of spring bloom, And the thrush leads out the trill, We are full of bright joy, Wandering from the morning to the stars... Robert Burns
1. The scientific name of the plant is “Galanthus”. It is formed from the Latinized Greek words γάλα (gála) and ἄνθος (ánthos), which can be understood as “ milk flower" - and given by the color of the flowers. The well-known name is associated with the early flowering of plants - flowers appear immediately from under the snow.
2. A flower whose name is associated with the place where it grows. It grows in the FOREST, and on open places almost never occurs. Its other name is "LIVER". It comes from the belief that these plants help with liver diseases, since the three-lobed leaves resemble liver in shape.
3. The stem of this flower is slightly thicker than an ordinary match and no taller than a student’s pencil. The green fuzzy stem ends in a white flower star. The ancient Romans called the flower exactly the same as we do, “anemone” - from the Latin word “anemos” - wind. The name was probably given to the plant because of its sensitivity to wind. Even with small gusts, large flower petals begin to flutter and flowers begin to sway. What is the name of our flower?
4. On the shaggy stem of this plant are collected flower heads, colored different colors. Some are pink, others are purple, and others are completely blue. Pink flowers happen when they just bloom. A little time will pass, and from pink they will turn purple, and then blue. The flower is especially loved by bees and bumblebees! This is what its name is connected with.
5. The name of the flower is derived from the verb form “to blow”, which is equal to the literary “to blow”. This name reflects the peculiarity of the plant - its pubescent achenes are blown away by the wind or a light breeze.
6. The name of this flower comes from the Latin word “prímus” (“first”) and is explained by the fact that many of its species bloom in early spring, one of the first.
7. One of the fabulous beautiful first flowers - DREAM-GRASS. A thick, shaggy coat of hairs covering the entire plant perfectly protects it from both cold and moisture loss. Its botanical name - "Pulsatiila" - translated from Latin means "to set in motion." The flower also has another name associated with its rapid development in the spring. What do people call sleep-grass?
ANSWERS: 1. Snowdrop 2. Copse. 3. Anemone. 4. Lungwort. 5. Dandelion. 6. Primrose.7. Lumbago.
