Touching charm wildflowers still inspires poets and lovers, gives a romantic mood. Fields and names of which are varied, today can be found in the most prestigious flower shops, because they look incredible 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. 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. So primrose is able to warn people about 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 yellow wildflowers, 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 is very poisonous juice. 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 sick. 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.

wildflowers - this is its own special type of flowers, easy to care for. They do not cause everyone such delight as, for example, roses. But when you drive past a field dotted with poppies, daisies, cornflowers, etc., it is simply impossible to take your eyes off these simple, gentle and very beautiful wildflowers. After all, you just want to stop, get out of the car and run through this “cloud” of flowers. And the smell that comes from them makes it seem like you are in a fairy tale and forget about all your problems.
A long time ago, when people had not yet begun to improve plants, wildflowers were the best gift.

The girls wove gorgeous wreaths from these delicate flowers, and the good fellows collected bouquets of buttercups and daisies and gave them to the red-haired girls. There is some kind of historical romance in these flowers. After all, sometimes a nice little bouquet of cornflowers will make you feel much more than an armful of roses.

And how many daisies helped the girls in fortune-telling “likes or dislikes.” How sincerely children rejoice when they collect fading dandelions, sending millions of white little paratroopers into the wind.

Beauty is beauty, and how many wildflowers are there? medicinal plants. Vivid representatives of this species: chamomile, bluebell, dog violet and many, many others.
Name of wildflowers Very large number According to scientists, there are about five hundred thousand species, but only 290 of them have been described.

Nowadays, it is very fashionable and practical to grow wildflowers in our garden beds.

Cornflowers - fragrant medicinal herb With blue flowers, strong persistent odor. When peasants bred them near their homes. Cornflowers had a wide ritual use - they were placed behind icons, decorated crosses in churches, blessed on Macovei (August 1), on the Savior (August 6).

In the place where the Jews hid the cross of the Savior, a fragrant and healing herb, which in Ukraine was called “cornflowers”.

According to another legend, the plant received its name from St. Basil the Great, who allegedly loved flowers and greenery during his lifetime and always decorated his home with them. Wreaths of blessed cornflowers were placed on the heads of dead girls, and flowers were also placed in the coffin. Cornflowers were sometimes an attribute of wedding rituals; they were sprinkled on the newlyweds, and they were used to make a font for children in case of illness. They also symbolize the holiness, purity, and beauty of the beloved.

Celandine got its name for its ability to effectively treat various skin diseases. This is also evidenced by its popular names - warthog, warthog, chistets. Scientific name plants – “great celandine” (Chelidonium Major). Finding celandine is not difficult. This perennial with a tall (50–100 cm) branched stem covered with short hairs, medium-sized petiolate leaves and small golden-yellow flowers collected in umbellate inflorescences. When the stem is broken, dark yellow or orange-red juice is released.

The high healing properties of celandine are due to the fact that it contains significant amounts of alkaloids, vitamins, organic acids, flavonoids, carotene, saponins, bitterness, essential oil, resinous substances. Preparations from celandine have pronounced anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, antimicrobial, antipruritic, cauterizing, local anesthetic, analgesic, choleretic, antispasmodic, and hypotensive effects.

Do not forget that celandine is a plant poisonous. When used externally, it is difficult to get poisoned, but with excessive ingestion, intestinal dysbiosis is possible, and in the worst case, poisoning, expressed in nausea, severe thirst, convulsions, decreased blood pressure, slow heart rate and even fainting. In this case, it is necessary to immediately rinse the stomach, then drink plenty of fluids and activated carbon. As a rule, after this, the symptoms of poisoning disappear quickly and without consequences.

Traditionally, celandine juice was used to treat diseases. Pure juice treats various irritations and skin diseases, burns, including sunburn, wounds, abscesses, boils, herpes, scabies, cracks on the hands and heels, removes freckles, warts, papillomas, and dry calluses. You can also use chopped fresh leaves for this.

In many cases, the juice is used diluted in various proportions. These solutions treat polyps, adenoids, tonsils, and gum inflammation. For the same purposes, you can use infusions and decoctions of celandine. It's not difficult to prepare them. There are many different recipes, one of the simplest is a tablespoon of dried herbs or two fresh ones per glass of water. If you pour boiling water and leave for 1.5-2 hours, you get an infusion, and if you boil for 10-15 minutes over low heat or in a water bath, you get a decoction. They are used for rinsing, compresses and lotions.

For treatment skin diseases celandine ointment is used. It's not difficult to prepare. Dried grass powder is mixed in a 1:1 ratio with heated badger fat, rendered lard or butter, and Vaseline. This ointment keeps well in the refrigerator and is always ready for use.

Diluted juice, decoctions and infusions of celandine are taken orally to treat many serious diseases. I won’t give recipes; if you wish, you can find them in reference books or on the Internet. Please note that juice is usually taken no more than 5-7 drops, and infusions and decoctions, depending on consistency, up to three tablespoons. On the Internet you can find recommendations to use tablespoons of pure celandine juice for some diseases. I would not recommend conducting such experiments on yourself.

For the treatment of diseases gastrointestinal tract, bladder, liver and kidney celandine have been used since ancient times, and in many countries. Previously, in Russian villages, celandine was used to treat kidney problems (hemorrhoids) and polyps in the large intestine. The diluted juice or infusion was taken orally, enemas were given, and external nodes were lubricated with the juice.

Modern medicine confirms that the substances contained in celandine slow down the development of cancer cells. Naturally, it is impossible to cure advanced cancer with celandine, but in the initial stages or after surgery, to prevent the development of metastases, it can be used along with medications; moreover, it acts as a mild pain reliever. Celandine is more effective in the treatment of skin cancer.

Most often in medicinal purposes juice obtained from the stems and leaves of celandine is used. It is believed that it is better to prepare fresh juice in May-July, when the plant contains the most useful substances. To do this, plant stems are cut at least 10 cm from the ground, crushed using a meat grinder or other device, squeezed and, adding 250 ml of alcohol or 500 ml of vodka per liter of juice, stored in a dark, cool place. Previously, in villages, fresh celandine juice was stored in tightly closed containers in ice cellars at a temperature of about 0 degrees. But first the juice was allowed to ferment for 5-7 days at room temperature.

In addition, celandine can be dried (it is better to use leaves and flowers for this) so that it can be used as needed to prepare infusions, tinctures, decoctions or ointments. IN lately dried herbs and preparations from celandine appeared in pharmacies. On the Internet I came across recommendations for preparing preparations from celandine seeds. I have doubts about them, because by autumn beneficial properties plants are shrinking.

Preparation of medicinal preparations

Decoction

The decoction is prepared as follows: the raw materials are placed in enamel dishes, poured cold water, bring to a boil over low heat and keep on fire for some time. The duration of this, as well as the proportions of water and raw materials, depend on the specific case.

The decoction should be filtered, squeezing the herb well.

A decoction of celandine herb has a bactericidal, sedative, choleretic, diuretic, antispasmodic, and anesthetic effect. It can be used for ulcerative and cholelithiasis, spasms of the pylorus of the duodenum, digestive tract and gall bladder, with renal-intestinal colic, with diseases of the bladder.

Juice is one of the most effective means obtained from celandine, because all the power is concentrated in it miracle plant. During the flowering period of celandine, collect leaves and stems (you can also use roots) and pass them through a meat grinder. Place in a glass container and refrigerate for several days (this is necessary for the celandine to release juice). Usually three days is enough. Then squeeze the herb through cheesecloth. A bucket of grass produces 1 – 1.5 liters of juice.

After some time after preparing the juice, it begins to ferment, so do not forget to release the air from the container. After 2 - 3 weeks, fermentation will end.

Juice prepared in this way can be stored in the refrigerator for several years.

Celandine oil

Celandine oil is a drug that is used mainly for external use.

Take dry grass, grind it, place it in glassware and fill with oil (so that the oil level is 2 - 3 cm higher than the level of the grass). It is advisable to use peach or apricot oil, but ordinary vegetable oil will also work. That's just vegetable oil Before use, you need to heat it in a water bath for 1 – 2 hours.

Place the oil with the herb for 30 – 60 minutes in warm place, and then transfer to a cool, dark place and leave for a week. Do not forget to shake the drug periodically. After 7 days, when it is ready, strain it through cheesecloth, add pure oil (1:1 ratio) and store it in a dark glass container.

Infusion of celandine

Preparation of celandine infusion. Celandine is used in the form of an infusion because of its bactericidal effect and ability to inhibit the growth of certain fungi and even malignant tumors. This is primarily due to the fact that celandine contains a large amount of alkaloids.

The infusion can be water or alcohol.

The best way to prepare an aqueous infusion of celandine is to take the amount of herb prescribed in the recipe, pour boiling water over it and heat in a steam bath for 15 minutes. Then cool well and strain. It would be a good idea to let the product sit before straining. You can completely skip the steam bath; just boiling water is enough. But in this case it is advisable to increase the infusion time. It is good to infuse celandine in a thermos.

An infusion of celandine can also be prepared with vodka. To do this, take the grass (fresh or dried), fill it with half a half-liter bottle or jar and pour it with vodka. Let it brew for two weeks. After this, the resulting tincture must be diluted at the rate of 150 ml of tincture per 350 ml of pure vodka. Take three times a day before meals. Remember that the tincture is very strong, and therefore if you need to take it orally, start with the smallest dose (5 - 10 drops), gradually increasing it by 10 drops every week.

The difference between a water infusion and an alcohol infusion is that the water infusion is much weaker. Main reason is that water dissolves only the salts of alkaloids, which are found in abundance in celandine, and alcohol dissolves the alkaloids themselves. Hence, alcohol solution will be much stronger and more effective.

However, water infusion has one – and extremely important – advantage: it is less dangerous than alcohol infusion. So in the vast majority of cases, in order to avoid poisoning, the use of water infusion should be clearly recommended. And the use of alcoholic infusion of celandine is justified only in cases where possible harm less than the benefit it can bring. Even with cancer, when a person is ready to use any means and, due to the criticality of the situation, it would seem that God himself ordered the use of an alcohol infusion, it would be useful to think about the general exhaustion of the body, for which any “blow” is dangerous.

Ointment with celandine

Ointment with celandine is prepared with Vaseline, lanolin, pork or lamb fat. You can also use ordinary baby cream as a base. To obtain the ointment, it is better to use either celandine juice or dried grass, which is first ground very well (it is advisable to use a coffee grinder). The proportions in which the components are mixed depend on the specific case, the specific disease. However, the usual ratios are 1 part chopped herb and 2 parts base mass. Fresh juice mixed with the base in a ratio of 1:4.

To prevent the ointment from molding, carbolic acid (0.25%) is added to it.

Since ancient times, wildflowers have adorned human life. WITH early spring to late autumn they bloom in meadows, fields, forests, on roadsides, in a word, everywhere where plants can exist, and delight us with their modest charm.

There are a great variety of wildflowers, most of them have medicinal properties, which have been used since ancient times.

Wildflowers are grown on personal plots. They require a minimum of care and are perfectly adapted to the conditions of the area.

Sometimes it is interesting to know what wildflowers can be found at this or that time of year, sometimes you want to sort them by color and know the names of wildflowers of each color.

This is the attempt that will be made in this article.

Wildflowers in spring

In early spring, one of the first to appear is a charming yellow flower.

The Russian name coltsfoot received because of its special leaves: the lower side is fluffy and soft, it evaporates water weaker than the front side, and therefore is warmer - “mother”, and the upper side is smooth and cold - “stepmother”.

Other Russian names: tsar-potion, butterbur, rannik, two-leafed, podbel, dioecious, water burdock, white-powder, near-river grass, Kamchuzhnaya grass, icy burdock, mother-grass, one-sided, horse's hoof.

The scientific Latin generic name (Tussilago) comes from two words: tussis - cough and ago - to set in motion, remove, and can be translated as “cough”. The plant received this name due to medical use it as a cough suppressant.

Coltsfoot sometimes appears as early as March and then throughout April it pleases us with its yellow flowers.

This flower is widespread everywhere, but snowdrops or galanthus do not reach far to the north.

In nature, distributed in areas temperate climate in Europe, Asia Minor, the Caucasus.

Cornflowers

The sky splashed its blue between it.
A delicate blue eyelash blinks from the bread
Cornflowers: “Don’t be sad when you pass by!”

A honey aroma floats over the meadows -

And they flicker in the grass like the glare of dawn,
Those fragrant balls, pleasing to the eye.

Wildflowers will enchant you.
Let there be more beautiful bouquets in the flower beds in the gardens -
Only in the meadows will you hear the melody of summer
Amazing tenderness and purity.

Having driven away all the sorrows, let my soul spill over
In a bright sea of ​​flowers, serenely endless,
And at least for a moment to touch the big one,
The soul-healing divine mystery.

On the table in front of the open window,

Shaking a little from the passing wind,

Wildflowers unnoticed

They intoxicate us with every leaf.

The bells seemed to come to life,

Miracle music flowed from them,

It would be good if she got it

Before the one who was very loved.

Burning with its blue,

Cornflowers play under the rays,

They remember the smell of bread

And the parade of ears is golden.

Like brides at a wedding daisies

In their snow-white robes

Reminded us again, young people,

How we played tag with friends.

How we sat on a motley meadow,

Enjoying the gifts of summer,

As we wondered and waited for an answer,

How they picked flowers as they ran.
