The hellebore

during a stroll Sunday we went to the Slovenian town of Veliko Polje. In that neighborhood we had a little stop to visit an old ruined church in the woods, which could be seen from the road.

Right in the woods near the church we found a 'more beautiful flower of the forest is particularly Worried hellebore (Helleborus multifidus).

As the primrose hellebore also uses the rhizome as an energy reserve to come up early in the year. The

infiorescienza is pendula and is composed five green sepals showy, coming up to 3-4 cm in size.

If you look closely you can see the center of these petals, very small, practically atrophied, in amounts varying from 8 to 12. The petals fomano a circle around the anthers, which are in large numbers (up to fifty!), And stigmas (ten).

Helleborus name in greek means "poisonous meal": in fact this small map is very poisonous! It contains three substances are highly toxic: the elleborina the elleboreina and aconitic acid. The first two are not destroyed by drying, hence a dry flower hellebore is poisonous - another reason to admire the flower leaving it there where it is, without touching it.

was used in folk medicine as a remedy for the itch, as a vermifuge and as a purgative, due to its toxicity, however, very often we run away the dead! The hellebore can cause death in minutes with seizures, diarrhea and delirium - a very undesirable end!

This should warn against reckless use at plants such as dressing DIY: contrary to what many believe, not everything that is natural is healthy and harmless!

course, a poison in the right amount can also be a great drug, but the amount of active ingredient contained in a plant varies not only from the collection of the plant (leaves, roots, flowers, fruits) but also from sample to sample: a flower grown in a dry environment may contain twice as active than another flower of the same species grown in a humid and rainy.

So to take full advantage of the benefits of natural medicine is always better to rely on the advice of an expert, avoiding gurus, rumors and experiments DIY!

The Scarlet

Flowering in most areas in the shade of the undergrowth of course tends to lag behind the sunniest areas: without sufficient light and heat is very hard to make a flower bloom!

As always there are exceptions: in fact we can find right in the undergrowth in March or even by the end of February, the beautiful primrose (Primula vulgaris).

The primrose is a perennial plant, and each year a store in the root stock of reserve materials for high energy value. It is this root / warehouse, called rhizomes, allowing the primrose to bloom so early.

The name 'Scarlet' means exactly this early. An old name of this flower, just as beautiful, was' spring 'or' plant Spring ', probably meaning this flower as a herald of warm weather is coming.

The leaves are dark green and rough on top, the bottom are hairy. The calyx of the flower form a tube with five points covering the bottom of the corolla. This is funnel shaped and is composed of five petals, ranging from sulfur yellow to a paler, almost white, depending on the sample. Perhaps because of the vivid contrast between the flowers and the soil was also known as the primrose eye of an owl. " In our part of

bloom almost everywhere is acylated in the areas around Lake Pierarossa.

This small plant of the primrose we collected in Slovenia a few weeks ago. Normally never worn away the flowers from their habitat, not only in this way whilst keeping intact the ecology (remember that every organization, even a small map, interact in complex ways with many other species), but a flower is much better if observed in nature that has given birth.

In this case we made an exception to the rule since the primrose was grown by the roadside, a muddy hillside that was being washed away by the action of rains in this period: the primrose in a few days would be over on the asphalt and then place it in a jar in the garden was a little 'how to save it.

The dogwood

Between late February and early March the flowering dogwood (Cornus mas). The road that leads to Doberdò Iamiano, passing on the north side of the lake is bordered by a large amount of dogwood shrubs, and becomes covered with yellow flowers are particularly visible since the other trees have not yet begun to put on the leaves.

In the name dogwood Cornus comes from the Latin meaning horn: in fact the wood of the dogwood is very Specifically, polished like the horns of oxen instead mas is Latin male, which he refers to as a veiled allusion to the still wood, very hard. Also in Bisiach they say "hard as a curniol.

In contrast, the dogwood (Cornus sanguinea ) , another shrub "relative" of the dogwood, which blooms later, Wood has a very fragile: hence one of his old name was just Cornus femina.

Our dogwood is a deciduous shrub, it can become a small tree up to 6 meters high. It has a brown bark that peels off easily leaving stains orange below.

The leaves emerge after flowering well, are oval, and arranged opposite to each other. The ribs converge at the apex: this is a feature of the genre, which allows you to locate it now!

The flowers are small and have four petals of a Gialo intense are in corymbs, or those little piles that look like a ball of flowers.
The fruit is a pendulous drupe red.
The fruits are high in vitamin C are used to make jams, sauces and brandy.
The fruits should be collected to complete maturity, because otherwise I'm terribly allappante! However
also remain very astringent ripe: if you prepare the cornelian cherry brandy, when you put the fruit in grappa infused white add in a generous dose of honey to sweeten everything!
