Fun fact! Common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) is a flowering tree that is actually part of the rose family. Examples of famous common hawthorn trees include the apocryphal oldest tree in France, and a well-known hawthorn in England that stood out for flowering three times a year.

Heliotrope

Heliotropium

devoted affection

Heliotrope is often associated with the greek myth about the nymph Clytie, who fell in love with Helios, who loved someone else. After Helios rejected her, she stripped herself and laid on the rocks without food or water, looking at the sun. After nine days, the gods took pity in her and she was transformed into Heliotrope.

Glebionis segetum, also called corn marigolds or corn daisies, these flowers are what I like to call 'proper pollinator pleasers' due to the large amount of nectar and pollen they produce over their long blooming period.

The origin country of these flowering plants is not confirmed, but they are theorised to have evolved somewhere in the Mediterranean and they're now found in various countries around the world, for better or for worse. At least the insects are happy with them!

For your most recent post (sorry comments were off ^^) I think your a very genuine, quiet and straight to the point type of person. Talking when you need and saying no more then what you need to say type of deal,

This one's actually true, yes. Very perceptive. I don't tend to really 'talk big talk' and part of that is having a speech disorder, so I'm insecure about my voice and usually use ASL. But when I do talk I'm very quiet and blunt about it. I also only use more... I guess 'eloquent' ways of talking when I'm writing. In my personal posts and the tags I leave I'm more expressive and natural, but still very straight-to-it and soft spoken.

First one's correct, here have a near-extinct flower that only grows in one specific village in Turkey. (fake legend of their origin but it’s fun)

The Carnation

Like a well-penned poem, the carnation's meaning is layered and profound. Often regarded as the "flower of the gods," it carries with it a sense of divine love and admiration. But its significance doesn't end there. The carnation is also a symbol of fascination, distinction, and even love's unpredictability.

//They've been standing still for too long. A nearby car startles them back into a run. They had tried to follow the van they had seen take Dim but lost it quickly. They couldn't even see the color of it in the dark. Now they're tracking down every van they see. They don't stop talking to Dim, even as they run and pant. It's starting to rain//

m sorry it hurts. it'll be ok even if it hurts now. i think... i think our friends gonna help. i don' know for sure.

//Can't keep running anymore. Can't find that same van. Where had they taken him? Surely somewhere not that far right? They find another alley to sit in for a moment, keeping an ear out for Dim//

baba? you still there? pl-please keep talking... -🐁

//Karnie lifts its head up a little, struggling to stay warm. Its unclear if it can hear Dim, too, or if its just reacting to its sibling//

b baba? - 🖍

They- yes, they would help. Rav would help. The choir... they would have tried, had they been here. I am still here. I will, uh, remain talking...

//He thought of some things he knew. Oh, right. Flowerfacts. He tried to remember everything he knew before softly going on a rant, taking breaks every so often so he wouldn't ruin his voice//

There are about 20 types of daisies. Some of them are very different from each other. However, they have one important similarity – a strong smell. Another name of the daisy flower is chamomile. All of them bloom in the first year of life. The flowers of all daisies look quite similar. The most common chamomile on earth is Matricaria chamomilla. Surely you’ve seen it, it’s a flower with white petals. It grows all over the world, with the exception of the Arctic and tropical regions, because the climate there is unsuitable for it. Matricaria chamomilla is one of the most widely used medicinal plants in the world. Botanists and doctors have written more scientific papers about it than about any other plant. Daisy seeds can be stored for a long time in dried form, and they won’t lose their ability to germinate. According to scientific research, chamomile seeds germinate with a 50% chance after 8 years of storage. People know about the healing properties of chamomile for thousands of years. A Roman author Pliny the Elder was the first to describe them in 77 B. C. Nearly 2 thousand years ago! Daisies are in bloom most of the year and can adapt to almost any environment. They can even live high in the mountains. This plant can be propagated only by seeds. The number of seeds in one flower can reach up to 5000. Up to 88 pounds (40 kg) of seeds can be harvested from one acre. One pound of chamomile seeds consists of approximately 7 million seeds. Chamomile oil sticks very strongly to the glass, so it is usually stored in metal bottles and bubbles. It has a blue color, so it is also used for coloring porcelain dishes and other products. If cows and goats eat daisies during grazing, then their milk will acquire an unpleasant taste and smell, since this plant smells very strongly. Fortunately, these animals avoid eating it, as they just don’t like it. People use daisies in the food industry. Its dried crushed leaves are a spice, and the essential oil serves as a flavoring for liqueurs and some other beverages. There’s a special collection of medicinal herbs, which minimizes the negative effects of radiation exposure received by a person. One of the essential ingredients of this collection is daisy Matricaria chamomilla. People grow chamomile all over the world because of its medicinal properties. However, it’s just a weed, and it often grows everywhere: along roadsides, in gardens, and literally everywhere where conditions are suitable more or less. Hippocrates recommended the use of decoctions from it as an anticonvulsant and analgesic. Matricaria discoidea is also widely used in medicine. This plant is spread all over the world, but different peoples have their own ways of using it.

grape hyacinths are one of my favorite spring ephemerals. not only are they adorable, but the flowers can be used for making syrup that tastes faintly and sweetly of grapes.

and if that’s not your thing, they can also be used for making color-changing ink. the initial ink might look purple in color, but as it hits the paper and begins to dry it will turn blue. and if you add an acid, it will turn pink. and if you add a basic it will turn green (you can do this with the syrup, too!)

this happens because of naturally-occurring pigments called anthocyanins – the same pigments found in purple cabbage, violets, and blueberries!
