Lilac (Syringa vulgaris)

Hi! I'm the Scent Fairy, Lilac! ✨

Scientific Name: Syringa vulgaris

My Message: Sweet First Love! 😊

I'm a happy shrub that loves to bloom when spring is at its peak! My tiny flowers look like little hearts popping out. I have a very strong scent that makes everyone smile when they walk by. The name Syringa comes from a Greek word meaning 'pipe', because my wood is so strong and hollow that people used to make musical instruments out of me!

I might look delicate, but I'm actually a tough cookie! My wood is very hard and strong. I use my sweet smell to invite butterflies and bees to a spring party. But be careful—my leaves are very bitter, reminding people of the bitter-sweet memories of youth. Let's make today fragrant together!

💜 ✨ 💜

"I hope your Thursday smells like a sweet dream! Pop!"

안녕! 나는 향기 요정 라일락이야! ✨

학명: Syringa vulgaris

나의 주문: 첫사랑의 달콤한 감동! 😊

나는 봄이 오면 팝콘처럼 꽃을 팡팡 터뜨리는 라일락이야! 내 학명 시링가(Syringa)는 '관'이나 '파이프'를 뜻하는 그리스어에서 유래했어. 내 줄기가 아주 단단해서 옛날 분들은 나로 멋진 악기나 담배 파이프를 만들기도 했거든. 정말 대단하지?

내 향기는 온 동네 사람들이 다 알 정도로 아주 진하고 달콤해. 하지만 내 잎을 살짝 깨물어보면 깜짝 놀랄 만큼 쓴맛이 난단다. 그래서 사람들은 나를 보며 달콤하면서도 쌉싸름한 '청춘의 추억'을 떠올리곤 해. 오늘 지루한 목요일이라면, 내 달콤한 향기를 상상하면서 다시 한번 힘을 내봐!

🌸 ✨ 🌸

"오늘 당신에게 행복한 향기 마법을 걸어줄게! 얍!"

유래	옛날 태양 신(神)을 숭배하며 살아가는 마을에 로즈라는 아름다운 아가씨가 살았다. 태양신을 숭배하여 주로 낮에 활동을 하는 마을 사람들과 달리 그녀는 낮보다 밤을 좋아했고, 태양보다 달을 더 좋아했다. 마을에서는 해마다 여름철이 되면 축제가 벌어지는데 밤이되면 큰 행사가 벌어졌다. 15세된 처녀들이 곱게 단장을 하고 한 줄로 늘어서 있으면 총각이 한 사람씩 나와서 마음에 드는 처녀를 골라 결혼을 하는 행사였다. 이 때, 상대를 고르는 순서는 엄격히 정해져 있었다. 전쟁에서 적을 많이 죽였거나 평소에 많은 사냥을 해 오는 사람, 또는 부락에 공이 큰 총각부터 마음에 드는 처녀를 고를 수 있었다. 청혼을 받으면 절대로 거절할 수 없었다. 로즈가 14세가 되었을 때 축제를 구경하고 집으로 돌아가고 있었다. 형제 부족의 추장집에서 5년동안 교육을 받고 돌아오는 추장의 작은 아들을 만났고, 로즈는 그에게 마음이 갔다. 이튿날 밤 달을 구경하고 있는 로즈에게 추장의 작은 아들이 다시 찾아왔다. 태양보다 달을 좋아하는 로즈의 눈에는 추장의 큰 아들은 태양이고, 작은 아들은 달로 생각되었다. 1년 뒤 다시 돌아온 축제 날, 로즈는 1년 동안 사귄 추장의 작은 아들이 자기를 원하리라 믿었다. 그러나 추장의 작은 아들은 로즈 옆에 있던 다른 처녀를 선택했다. 실망한 로즈는 다른 총각의 청혼을 뿌리치고 밖으로 뛰쳐나갔다지만 병사들에게 붙잡혀 끌려왔고, 낮에는 뜨거운 햇볕이 내려쬐고 밤이면 온갖 짐승들과 귀신이 들끓는 귀신의 골짜기로 추방되었다. 로즈는 그곳에서 달님을 바라보며 추장의 작은 아들을 손꼽아 기다렸다. 1년이 흐른 후 추장의 아들은 사람의 눈을 피해 그녀를 찾아 나섰다. 골짜기에서 큰 소리로 불렀으나 대답이 없었다. 그는 달빛에 비친 한 송이 꽃을 보았다. 죽어서 꽃으로 변한 로즈는 밤이 오면 달을 보고 피어났다. 추장의 작은 아들과 사랑을 시작한 지 2년 만에 죽은 것처럼 달맞이꽃도 두해살이풀이 되었다.

Melampyrum pratense

Melampyrum pratense

Melampyrum pratense, common cow-wheat, is a plant species in the family Orobanchaceae.

The seed of the plant has an elaiosome, which is attractive to wood ants (Formica spp.). The ants disperse the seeds of the plant when they take them back to their nests to feed their young.[1] The plant is an Ancient Woodland indicator, as the ants rarely carry the seeds more than a few yards, seldom crossing a field to go to a new woodland.

M. pratense is a food plant of the caterpillars of the Heath Fritillary (Melitaea athalia), a butterfly.[2]

M. pratense herb has been used in the traditional Austrian medicine internally as tea or externally as pillow filling for treatment of rheumatism and blood vessels calcification.[3]

Plantain Lily

Plantain Lily

Hosta (/ˈhɒstə/, syn. Funkia) is a genus of about 23–45 species of plants commonly known as hostas, plantain lilies (particularly in Britain) and occasionally by the Japanese name giboshi. Hostas are widely cultivated as shade-tolerant foliage plants. The genus is currently placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae, and is native to northeast Asia. Like many "lilioid monocots", the genus was once classified in the Liliaceae. The name Hosta is in honor of the Austrian botanist Nicholas Thomas Host. The rejected generic name Funkia, also used as a common name, can be found in some older literature.
