RE: Aquilegias are unbelievable.

in #aquilegia6 years ago

An interesting plant and an interesting story is about it. Aquilegia is also called an orlice or catchment. It belongs to the genus of perennial herbaceous plants of the family of buttercups. According to various sources, this genus combines 60-120 species of diverse plants that grow in the mountain regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Approximately 35 species of this plant are cultivated. Where does the Latin name come from, exactly and is not defined. So, according to one version, the name is formed from words such as aqua - "water" and legere - "collect", and on the other - that this word originated from aquila - "eagle". Such a plant has long been known to flower growers. A reference to it can also be found in fiction. So, in "Hamlet" Ophelia offers Laertes a columbine flower (and this is how England is called aquilegia). And in the Middle Ages, if the artist portrayed the flower of a given plant in the picture, it was indicative of the presence of the Holy Spirit.
