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!

How Keep Weave From Tangling

The slow worm I

This morning, despite the rain, our dog wanted to stay in the garden was very excited, curious, barking and panting, looking alternately at me and a corner behind the stairs.
That is what he managed to intrigue me as well ... in the end the cause of all this agitation was a little slow worm (Anguis fragilis)!

I first moved away from Frodo unfortunate slow-worm: not that he was doing wrong, but I would never trade it for one of his " toys "and start masticarselo!

The question that arises now is the slow worm who does not know if its bite is poisonous.

The slow worm, how easily you can tell from its appearance, is a reptile, but does not belong to the suborder Serpentes but that of Sauri, that's definitely not a snake, nor is it related to the latter, but can view it as a lizard (one of the most popular lizards and relatives) without the feet.

fact watching closely his head looks just like that of a lizard and his mouth is shaped to eat the same things that feed it: earthworms (pictured below is ending a jelly!), Small insects , worms and snails. For this does not present the typical venomous teeth of serpents, and so it is absolutely harmless!

dell'orbettino The body is cylindrical and covered with scales pretty tough, often by a beautiful copper color as the sample I found today, being so hard make it a bit 'stiff in his movements, in fact when I picked up to save the dog he moved somewhat inflexible. This is due to the fact that typically live in the land and this type of strong armor helps him in the hole.

can even reach half a meter in length but is rare because, remember, it is almost a lizard without legs, sharing with it a particular defensive behavior called 'shedding', ie the ability to shed their tails to escape from predators. I recall that this is not a behavior that the lizard take lightly, as the loss of the tail is not only a great loss of its reserves of fat but also reduces the possibility of playing as a symbol of individual 'crafty little' in avoiding predators. The fact is that this skill can save the slow worm, but after that the samples often do not exceed 30-40 cm.

Like all reptiles, the slow worm is a cold-blooded animal, that is, his body temperature is not constant but varies with the ambient temperature. In winter it hibernates underground and the first hot spring emerges to recover a little body heat remaining in the sun.

The slow worm that I found today is a bit 'ahead of schedule, it was all a bit' dazed by cold and rainy weather, which is why his reaction times were very slow. This allowed me to take advantage and take a little 'photo and keep it in hand to enjoy the feeling of his skin, smooth as silk.

Then I softened and slowly I pushed a hole under the shed where I hope to remain protected from attack canines, as long as the temperatures will be milder.

"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower"

The speedwell (Veronica persica ) is one of the smaller wild flowers that can be found in the fields, and is also one of the most beautiful.

dialect Bisiach In this little flower has a very poetic name, "Ocieti of Madona"

Veronica Scrophulariacee belongs to the family, the name of the Typically, for some, comes from Santa Veronica, for the''other''betonica transliteration of B in V (a plant of the family Labiatae), others still true Ikona = true picture because it was very common in representations of the sacred order of the Middle Ages, "persica" instead indicates that the flower is native to Persia.
It 's a weed, pest, although it is so beautiful and is considered a weed without practical value.

The stem is prostrate and hairy. The leaves are elliptical-oval, have a serrated margin and are also hairy. The flowers are carried on long stalks and have the corolla blue with yellow center and close on cloudy days and at night.

The fruits are heart-shaped capsules.

It is said that veronica has tonic and expectorant, but I do not know when it comes to herbal teas or whatever and that part of the plant are connected.

Of course in a beautiful sunny day, Veronica has the ability to give us a moment of happiness, transforming the Champs de Mars in a little starry sky.
