Flower onomastics
What name of beautiful flowers comes to mind immediately? Of course, roses, dahlias, phloxes, violets ... And what do we know about the representatives of this plant kingdom? For example, wonderful peonies - lush, with a delicate smell, white, pink, burgundy. Bouquet of them - a beautiful decoration of the living room or dining room. But very few people know the fascinating Moldavian fairy tale about Fairy Spring, which was once met by a young man named Bujor. Young people liked each other, but the severe and evil Moroz interfered in their relations, who did not want to give ground to the Spring. He tried to destroy the Fairy, but stood up for his beloved youth. He died, but she did not give any offense. In memory of these high feelings in Moldova and Romania, the name of beautiful flowers of peonies sounds like "buzhory".
And a narcissus, one more personification of spring? And interesting myths related to the culture and beliefs of Ancient Greece reached us. After all, that was the name of the young handsome son of the lord of all lakes and rivers. He was really good-looking, and he broke many women's hearts. However, he was only interested in hunting, physical exercises. And then the Echo, a cunning nymph, decided to punish the stubborn. She enchanted Narcissa, and he fell in love with his own river reflection. Fell in love - and died. And the name of beautiful flowers in memory of him and left: daffodils. I would like to recall such decorations of gardens and flower beds as lilies. There are many varieties, including tiger and white. That's about white talk specifically. Perhaps you did not hear that once they were inhabitants of other planets? Yes, yes, imagine! God of love, Cupid, dreamed of meeting an extraordinary woman, equal to which there is no on Earth. His mother, Aphrodite, offered her son to look for her dream among other worlds. The council was crowned with success: the Amur caught extraordinary maidens with silvery hair, skin whiter than snow and eyes like ice. However, they did not pay attention to God. Aphrodite, insulted for her son, turned capricious people into lilies and sent them to Earth. Thus, the name of beautiful flowers reminds us that love is formidable, treacherous, dramatic.

What beautiful flowers (photos and names) can be given to women, which ones - to men, and which are universal? For men, large, long-stemmed: iris, gladiolus, phlox, poppy. They often present them with carnations. But the ladies will suit the grades of the most pale: roses, tulips, lilacs.
