The touching charm of wildflowers still inspires poets and lovers and gives a romantic mood. Field flowers, whose names are varied, can be found today in the most prestigious flower shops, because they look incomparable in fresh, charming bouquets. And one has only to imagine a boundless field strewn blue cornflowers, yellow buttercups or white daisies, as fatigue, problems and grievances recede.
Why are they called that?
Often the name of wildflowers speaks about the noticeable characteristics of the plants. Coltsfoot is so named because of its leaves - warm, terry on one side, smooth and cold on the other. The flowers of the crane bird resemble the beak of this slender bird and look like a bell. Oregano has a unique aroma, especially when dried. The tea made from it is very fragrant. Elecampane acquired its nickname because it helps well with weakness and fatigue: it gives a person “nine strength.” It also happens that the name of wildflowers is associated with myths and legends. They say that cornflower is named after St. Basil the Great, who had a special affinity for flowers, and is a symbol of kindness and spiritual purity. The flowers on the stems of Ivan da Marya received their name thanks to the legend of unhappy love. A girl and a guy, having learned that they were each other's brother and sister, so as not to be separated, turned into flowers different shades. The sleep-grass flower is so called because at night the petals close tightly and the plant droops, as if falling asleep. Another name for this flower is lumbago. According to legend, an angel fired an arrow at a demon hiding in the thickets of this plant and shot through the leaves.
Two names
Each wildflower name has a second (botanical) name. In chicory it sounds like this: Cichorium intybys. Comes from the Greek kio - “I go” and chorion - “alienated by the field”. It is called so because the plant can often be found on the outskirts of fields. The species name intybus can be translated as “in a tube” - the flower has a hollow stem. The thistle plant has a Latin name, Carduus nutans, which comes from the word cardo, meaning “hook.” The white and pinkish flowers of soapwort are scientifically called Saponaria and come from the Greek sapon, meaning “soap”. The hairy leaves and stems of mullein, called Verbascum, come from the Latin word barbascum, which is etymologically related to barba, “beard.” Other plant names: royal scepter, chieftain grass, fur leaf. The botanical name of sage, Salvia, comes from the Latin word salvus and means “healthy.” Sage is widely used as a medicinal plant.
Names of blue wildflowers. Blue linen
Among the flowers that delight us with a cool, heavenly hue, flax can be called the most delicate. Its Latin name - Línum - comes from the Celtic language, in which the word lin means “thread”: the flax stalk consists entirely of thin fibers. Since ancient times, the plant has healed, fed and clothed people. The remarkable quality of linen material is its resistance to rotting and increased strength when high humidity. Oil was made from this flax seed, which generously contains the essential linolenic fatty acid, which is involved in the metabolism of humans and animals and prevents the development of cardiovascular diseases.
Charming doctor
There is no place where graceful and cute cornflowers do not grow. If no ears of corn are observed, it means that there certainly was a grain field here, which is now reminded of by little blue flowers. They bloom from May to September. The Latin name - Centauréa - arose from the Greek adjective centaureus, that is, belonging to a centaur. The myth says that with these flowers the centaur Chiron was cured of the poison of the hydra that bit him. Cornflower belongs to the Asteraceae family and is used medicinally as a decongestant. In folk therapy, infusion of flowers in snow water treats the eyes. In cosmetics, cornflower extract is used to produce cleansing, pore-tightening nourishing products.
How did forget-me-not get its name?
Simple forget-me-nots love moisture; they can be found along streams, in meadows, and along river banks. The scientific name of this flower from the borage family - Myosótis - comes from the name "mouse ear", because when the petals open, they closely resemble the ear of a rodent. And according to legend, the forget-me-not acquired a name when the goddess Flora descended to earth and bestowed names on the flowers. It seemed to her that she respected everyone, but then a weak voice was heard behind her: “Don’t forget me, Flora!” The goddess took a closer look and saw a tiny blue flower, called it forget-me-not and gave it the miraculous power to return the memory of people who had forgotten their homeland and loved ones.
Names of yellow wildflowers. Primrose
Primrose, or primrose, was popularly called “golden keys”. There is a legend. They hinted to the Apostle Peter, guarding the gates to Eden, that someone without permission wanted to get into heaven with fake keys. The apostle, in fright, dropped a bunch of golden keys; it fell to the ground, and flowers similar to it grew in that place. Lovely yellow inflorescences appear in early spring, as if opening the way to light and warmth. No wonder the botanical name - Prímula - arose from the Latin word prímus, that is, “first”. Another name for primrose wildflowers is firstborn. Corollas with five petals are collected in racemes-inflorescences on smooth long stems. They are dried and invigorating tea is brewed. There is a whole vitamin cocktail in primrose leaves. Healers prepare a cure for tuberculosis from its roots. And in the old days they cooked from the flower. Primrose can detect signals from the ultrasonic field that occurs during an earthquake. It accelerates the movement of juices in the plant and makes it bloom faster. This is how primrose is able to warn people of danger.
Priceless sweet clover
In the fields and meadows grows a magnificent honey plant and healer - sweet clover. Its Latin name - Melilótus - comes from the word “honey”. And in Rus' these are yellow wild flowers, whose names - bottom are etymologically related to the Slavic word “bottom”. Infusions and decoctions from the plant helped against diseases, and from fresh leaves and flowers were used to prepare a healing plaster for wounds.
Dangerous and beautiful
What a gratifying picture is a field dotted with golden droplets of buttercups! This flower with silky petals is so sweet and touching. Why does it have such a formidable name? The answer is simple - buttercup juice is very poisonous. It was from it that a potion was prepared that plunged Juliet into a deep, death-like sleep. Scientists named the flower Ranúnculus, from the Latin word for frog, because the buttercup adores wet places. The plant blooms several times during the summer, and if the season is rainy, the flowers will be large and lush, and the stems will grow waist-high.
In conclusion
The names and pictures of wildflowers given in this article are only a small part of the rich flora of our wonderful planet. The gentle inhabitants of meadows and fields are not afraid of either heat or cold; they generously give their healing powers to everyone who is ill. The famous thinker of the Enlightenment, Jean Jacques Rousseau, asked his friends to take him to the meadow if he became so ill that there was no longer any hope of recovery. Then, as the scientist assured, he would feel good again.
It’s amazing how rich the nature of our latitudes is in wild herbs. Medicinal plants live widely in fields and meadows, in steppes and forests, on mountain slopes and in valleys.
