List of wild (meadow) flowers with photos, names and descriptions

Color classification

All flowering plants are classified according to certain characteristics. According to the conditions required for growing flower crops, they are divided into two groups.

Greenhouse plants are ornamental plants that require specific conditions and air temperature. They are grown in greenhouses, greenhouses and indoor conditions. The temperature regime and a certain air humidity are maintained in these rooms artificially, depending on the crops grown in them. According to temperature conditions, greenhouses are divided into the following groups :

• crops that are grown in greenhouses in winter at a temperature of +3−6 0 C;
• crops grown in greenhouses at a temperature of +8−15 0 C;
• crops grown in warm greenhouses at a temperature of +18−25 0 C;

Open ground plants. They, in turn, are divided according to their life expectancy into the following groups :

• annual crops whose development cycle ends after one season. These plants reproduce by seeds. Some perennial flower crops, which freeze out in the open ground, are grown by gardeners as annuals. In addition to the seed propagation method, they can be propagated by cuttings;
• biennials, which are perennial by nature, but they produce the most abundant flowering in the second year of life. For this reason they are cultivated as biennials;
• perennials, which, in turn, are classified according to morphological characteristics into rhizomatous, bulbous, corm, tuberous crops.

According to their use in landscape design, flowering plants are divided into the following groups :

• carpet;
• borders;
• curly;
• massively decorative;
• ampelous.

Among the diverse ornamental plants, several groups are also distinguished according to decorative characteristics :

• beautiful bloomers, grown for their gorgeous flowers;
• foliage and decorative;
• plants valued not only for their beautiful flowers, but also for their aroma;
• attractive due to their overall decorativeness.

Flowering plants are also divided according to the duration of the development period from sowing to flowering, according to flowering time, and according to life forms.

About croutons

When we published an article about croutons, the author wrote to me that it would be correct to “fry a lot of croutons”, not “croutons”. Because “crouton” is a masculine singular noun: “delicious crouton, fragrant crouton.”

I looked at culinary sites, and everywhere there was “fry (a lot of) croutons.” In Wiktionary I found two entries in general, one in the singular “crouton”, the other “crouton”.

I wrote it the way I say it, which is why all the croutons in our recipes are feminine.

Application in landscape design

Knowing how plants are classified according to their main characteristics, you can begin to select plants for your flower garden. First of all, you need to find out the names of flowers that are in harmony with each other in terms of aesthetic characteristics and care requirements. In addition, it is advisable to select plants in such a way that flowering does not stop throughout the warm season.

These can be either annual ornamental plants, with which the site will look new every new season, or perennial flowers, which are easy to care for. It should be noted that crops with a long flowering period include only annuals. When using perennial crops, choose flowers with alternate blooms.

When selecting beautiful plants for a flower garden, their height is taken into account, placing tall plants in the center of the flower bed or in the background of flower beds, combining them with medium-sized crops. Low-growing flowers are used to create, for example, flower borders.

With the onset of the first warm days, primroses appear, which open the season of a riot of colors, these include flowers with names :

• delicate snowdrops are a white forest flower. It can please with buds from mid-February.
• primrose - blooms in March, mostly snow-white or bright yellow. But with artificial plantings it can please you with a wide variety of bright and rich colors.
• crocuses begin to bloom in late March or early April. Their petals can be painted in all possible shades of white, purple, pink, yellow and lilac.
• hyacinths are the brightest of the primroses, blooming at the same time as crocuses;
• Tulips bloom a little later than crocuses and are not at all a hindrance to other plants.
• daffodil - bulbous plants are most often white with a yellow core;
• Forget-me-nots, daisies and pansies take up the blooming baton in April. These low plants of various colors will cover the flower garden with a bright carpet.
• fragrant lily of the valley is a rare forest plant listed in the Red Book. Blooms in May. When using it when creating flower beds, one must take into account that it has a powerful root system and easily survives all its neighbors;
• peony blooms at the end of May with huge inflorescences of delicate and bright colors.

Genders of nouns

All words in the Russian language, used in the singular form, can refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter and general gender.

The gender of nouns is determined by substituting words:

• he, my – cat (masculine)
• she, mine , is a cat (feminine),
• it, mine , is a child (neuter gender.

Generic nouns can denote both male and female persons: mine, mine is a crybaby.

Exotic plants

Some plants are so rare that it is impossible for most people to see them bloom with their own eyes. They grow only in certain often very remote corners of the planet. And some endangered species remain only in single copies.

On the Philippine Islands, under the hot tropical sun, the climbing vine Jade Vine grows with chic 2-meter sea-green tassels hanging from it. This plant is pollinated only by moths and bats.

In the completely impenetrable jungles of Indonesia, located on the islands of the Malay archipelago and the western part of the island of New Guinea, grows a unique bright red flower, the Corpse Lily, or Rafflesia, which received its name for its specific corpse smell. This flower with a diameter of about 1 m weighs at least 10 kg.

Declension of nouns

Declension is a constant feature of IS, which determines the peculiarity of change in numbers and cases. ISs are declined, that is, they change in numbers and cases. There are three main declensions – 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

1st declension

• Nouns m.r., zh.r. and general r. with endings -а, -я
• For example: Vasya, grandfather, mother, glutton

2nd declension

• Nouns m.r. with zero ending and s.r. with endings -о, -е
• For example: Home, planetarium, Sunday, miracle

3rd declension

• Nouns null-terminated
• For example: Life, quiet, steppe

Unbowed

• Nouns of foreign origin without ending
• For example: Kangaroo, coat, cocoa, pince-nez

Divergent

• Some of the endings of these nouns are from one declension, and some are from another. These are 10 words starting with -name + path, child.
• For example: Name, time, tribe, flame, banner, crown, burden, stirrup, seed, udder + path, child

Adjective declension

• Substantivalized words (those formed by transitioning into a noun from other parts of speech)
• For example: Nursery, dining room, tailor, dumb, ice cream, roast

Common nouns usually belong to the 1st declension or to indeclinable words , although they can denote male and female persons.

Crybaby (he, she) is a common gender. But: Doctor Petrova is a masculine word, since it is the 2nd declension.

The rarest and most expensive species

Some flower crops amaze the imagination with their smell, size, color or abilities that are unusual for the plant world.

There is a flower called Victoria regia. This is an unusual white water lily, which has leaves with a diameter of about 2 m, supporting a load weighing up to 50 kg on its surface. The flower lives for 5 years.

The largest flower on the planet reaches about 250 cm in height and at least 150 cm in width. This is Amorphophallus titanica. Many scientists consider the smell of this flower to be one of the most disgusting on the planet - it is a mixed smell of rotten eggs and fish. The uniqueness of the flower also lies in the fact that it begins to emit a scent only when it is touched.

Among the majestic peaks of the Andes, the Puya Raymond flower grows. This type of flower is considered endangered. It reaches a height of 10 m and about 8 thousand white flowers bloom on it at the same time. Flowers appear in the 80th year of life; after the fruits appear, the plant dies.

The world's largest flower grown by man is considered to be the queen of flowers, the Lady Banks rose, planted back in 1885. Its trunk, on which more than 200 thousand flowers bloom, has already reached 3.7 m in diameter.

Anthurium male flower: a wonderful legend

Not every flower has its own personal legend. Anthurium has it, beautiful and sad at the same time. In ancient times, in one of the Indian tribes there lived a couple in love. The bride was so beautiful that an influential warrior from a neighboring tribe wanted to marry her. The girl refused the stranger and continued with her lover to prepare for the wedding. On the eve of the celebration, an outcast warrior and his friends attacked civilians, treacherously killed the groom, and tried to marry the bride by force.

The grief-stricken girl did not give up. She threw herself into the big wedding fire to preserve her honor and loyalty to her murdered lover. The girl’s act made an impression on the gods, who in those days were close to mortals and influenced their existence. The gods decided to save the girl’s life by turning her into a beautiful anthurium flower. He turned out to be bright, cheerful and forever young. But sometimes he remembers his bitter human fate and “cries” profusely with dew.

Use in cooking

In Greek, Chinese and Roman culture, the flowers of some plants have been used in cooking since ancient times. In the modern world, about 50 names of edible flowers are known.

First of all, flowers are a healthy food. They contain a large amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. In addition, they are enriched with antioxidants and contain almost no fat.

Food prepared using flowers is savory in taste, delicious and appetizing to look at. Flowers are used in the preparation of various salads, confectionery, desserts and drinks. It is important to remember that not all of their varieties are suitable; there are also poisonous specimens. Most often used in cooking :

• pansy - a flower with a sweetish, herbaceous taste is used when decorating dishes;
• fragrant and sweet acacia flowers are deep-fried or candied;
• Elderberry inflorescences are used as ingredients in salads, omelettes or pancakes. This plant is poisonous, so use it with caution;
• sweet fragrant clove petals are used to prepare desserts, as well as sauces served with white meat and fish;
• The sour petals of the hibiscus flower are often used to make tea.

The world of flowers is beautiful and has a significant impact on a person, creating a mood of happiness and love. They increase vitality, strengthen close relationships with friends and family, and help create peace and comfort at home. With the help of the language of flowers you can express what is sometimes impossible to say in words.

Number of nouns

Number is a variable attribute of a noun that denotes singularity or plurality.

Nouns have two numbers: singular and plural. In the form of I. p. units. h. – names one object, in the same plural form. h. – two or more objects: pillar – pillars, house – houses. Number is a formative category, it is expressed in the ending of a word, in stress, in the alternation of consonants: snow - snow: friend - friends.

In addition, in the Russian language there is a significant number of ISs that do not have units. or more numbers: rags, courage, silver; sleigh, pants, elections. The initial form of these words is the nominative case.

Reproduction

In this section we will tell you how to plant anthurium. There are three ways to do this.

Dividing the bush

Cut off a leaf from an adult plant. The cut is made with a sharp knife, and the cut area is sprinkled with crushed coal. Then transplant the leaf into another pot. You need to water carefully, do not overdo it: excess moisture will have a bad effect on your green pet.

By cuttings

To do this, you need to cut off part of the stem; it is important that it contains all the necessary parts of the future adult flower: an aerial root and a leaf. You plant this cutting in another pot, it quickly germinates, takes root, and begins to develop.

Seeds

The most difficult way. What should be done:

• Pollinate the flower. To do this, run a brush or cotton swab over the ear of flowers, and then transfer the collected pollen to another ear - this is called artificial pollination. This must be done in the very first days of flowering, preferably several times, to be sure.
• If you did everything correctly, the cob will then form berries instead of flowers, and the berries will contain seeds. They will ripen in eight months. The seeds need to be pulled out, washed and dipped in a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
• Then lower the seeds into the soil. There is no need to dig in, just press down a little. Make a greenhouse out of the pot (cover it with cling film or glass) so that there is always high temperature and humidity. The seeds will sprout in two to three weeks, you will see the first flowers in two years, and the flower will fully bloom in four years.
• Flowers are transplanted into a larger container when the first two leaves appear. The soil in a large pot should be fertile: with cow manure, peat, coal. This procedure is carried out a couple more times before the plant reaches its full size.

Ficus will scare away a man

Ficus is contraindicated for single women to grow. Since ancient times, there have been many legends in the world about indoor plants - “husbands”. Such beliefs say that they repel men, creating an unbearable energy in the room. Ficus, fern and liana can prevent a free girl from finding family happiness. But ficus is one of the indoor plants that will survive any owner.

Diseases and pests of Anthurium with photos and their treatment

Anthurium diseases:

• Stem rot.

Reason: stagnation of water, too cold around the plant.

Symptoms: first white spots appear on the stem, then they turn black, black spots appear on the leaves, the leaves dry out, eventually rot and fall off.

What to do: isolate, remove injured areas, spray with fungicide, check again after a week for pests. If it doesn't help, destroy it.

• Root rot.

Reasons: the same as in the previous case, but poor-quality drainage is also added.

Symptoms: leaves turn pale, turn yellow, wither, roots rot and peel off from the core.

What to do: remove moisture, water significantly less, make the air in the room drier, cut off damaged leaves and roots, transplant into another pot with good drainage, water with a special preparation.

• Septoria.

Antirium is characterized by leaf diseases, septirium is one of them. It causes brown, yellow, and brown spots to appear on the leaves. They need to be removed, stop spraying, give the “sick” fertilizer, inspect for pests and spray with medicine containing copper.

• Fusarium.

A common and, unfortunately, almost incurable disease. Symptoms: leaves dry out, turn yellow, wither, eventually fall off, and a pinkish coating appears on the stem. If other diseases often appear due to cold, here it is the other way around due to too much temperature and, again, humidity.

What to do: spray with fungicide, saturate the soil with pesticide, repeat after a week. If it doesn’t help, destroy the plant.

• Anthracnose.

Symptoms: black dots on the edges of the leaves, then brown spots, around them there is a pale pink or pale yellow border, the lesion gradually moves towards the center, holes, ulcers, and cracks soon appear in place of the spots.

Why: high temperature, humidity, pests (when replanting other plants, from insects, from rain), lack of phosphorus and potassium.

What to do: remove damaged shoots, transplant into another pot (the soil in this one is damaged), the pot and the soil in it must be disinfected. When transplanting, wash the roots in potassium permanganate. After transplanting, reduce watering. Isolate the flower from other plants. Apply fungicide.

• Powdery mildew.

The name is poetic, but the symptoms are not at all poetic: the leaves turn yellow, shrink, become smaller, and light spots appear on the back side. The medicine is a fungicide.

• Rust.

Symptoms: brown spots appear below and white spots above, then the leaves dry out. Treated with fungicide.

• Bronzing.

Symptoms: leaves have lost color, wrinkled, and are covered with small holes.

Reason: the disease is carried by pests, this often happens if you have recently transplanted another plant to the anthurium.

Treatment: none. Alas.

• Chlorosis.

Similar to powdery mildew, easy to confuse, but powdery mildew is much more dangerous.

Symptom: yellow spots visible in the light.

Reason: lack of nutrients.

Treatment: fertilizer with iron and magnesium.

• Plant pox.

Symptoms: tubercles on the leaves are yellow-green, with yellowish rings around them.

Reason: low temperature, excess moisture, lack of fertilizer.

Treatment: correct mistakes and hope for the best.

• Enation.

Symptoms: curvature, unattractive appearance, looks weak, damaged, withered.

Reason: drafts, changes in temperature and humidity levels.

What to do: organize ideal conditions for the flower and hope for the best.

However, often anthurium owners are concerned about symptoms that are not associated with a specific disease, for example:

• Does not bloom, produces only leaves. The reasons for this can be very diverse: from pests to care errors. Inspect the flower if you notice suspicious spots, plaque, or changes in the color of the leaves - perhaps these are pests or a disease. If there is nothing, there is probably something wrong with the care; the most common mistake is hypothermia and excess watering.
• The leaves turn black. Possible reasons why this is so: too hard, cold water, water with excess chlorine, stagnation of water in the pan. Solution: water with settled water with added acid (citric, acetic), do not forget to remove excess water from the pan.
• Gray leaf tips. This happens from an excess of calcium. Solved by transplantation.
• The tips of the leaves dry out. Perhaps it's a sunburn. Remove exposure to direct sunlight: remove the flower from the window, hang blinds.
• Doesn't grow at all. Most likely, the error is again in the care: for example, excessive watering, not wide enough pot, plastic pot, incorrect soil composition, too cold, too hot, not enough light.
