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-leaved grass, podbel, dioecious, water burdock, white-powder grass, near-river grass, Kamchuzhnaya grass, icy lapweed, mother grass, one-sided plant, 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 its medical use as a cough remedy.

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

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

In nature, they are distributed in temperate climate zones in Europe, Asia Minor, and the Caucasus.

Poems about wildflowers

Wildflowers

Olga Kolova

There is a special charm in wild flowers -
Cornflowers, bells, in the same chamomile...
Here she is like the sun in a white shirt,
Everything nods its head to us from the grass.

The wavy rye beckons with all its vastness.
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 -
Summer generously scattered clover everywhere.
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.
