The other day in the Samara prosse there was information:
Fine-leaved peony from the Red Book blooms again in Samara region
"Mobile group of specialists of the Botanical Garden of the Samara National research university named after Academician S.P. The Queen conducted the first field survey this year of rare plants transferred to natural habitats in the vicinity of the village of Chubovka (Kinelsky district of Samara area). Experts made sure that two species, which were considered extinct from the territory of the Samara region, bloom and feel comfortable.
“Solving the problem of biodiversity conservation, the Botanical Garden of Samara University has been participating in the work on the reintroduction of rare plants into natural communities for more than 10 years,” says Lyudmila Kavelenova, head of the Department of Ecology, Botany and Nature Conservation.
Botanical gardens, which have preserved rare or completely extinct plants in their collections, plant them in their natural habitats - steppes, meadows, forests. If successful, returned to their usual habitats, the plants become the ancestors of new populations.
For ten years, employees of the Botanical Garden have returned 12 plant species in this way, two of which were recently listed in the Red Book of the Samara Region as disappeared from the territory of the region. This verdict for the fine-leaved peony and the European spindle tree can now be considered irrelevant by the efforts of the specialists of the Botanical Garden.
Employees of the Botanical Garden monitor the development of plants transferred to nature, go for examinations several times during the growing season. The first departure of the mobile group this year took place on May 25.
“For many plants, the wintering conditions turned out to be unexpectedly problematic, and the long cool spring shifted the usual terms of development and flowering, so we could only guess in what condition we would find our “settlers,” explained Alexander Pomogaybin, Deputy Director of the Botanical Garden.
Plants of Cossack juniper, straight clematis, common ash tree, low and Siberian irises overwintered successfully. Most of the Euonymus bushes were covered with many greenish buds, some of which have already opened. For the first time, plants of leafless iris, very rare in the Samara region, which had adapted to the new place of residence for a long time, bloomed for the first time.
"The spectacle of the mass flowering of the fine-leaved peony became a real holiday. This legendary" scarlet flower "of our steppes pleased not only bright colors petals, but already set fruits in which seeds began to develop. This means that peonies will have descendants who will add color to each spring,” the director of the Botanical Garden, Svetlana Rozno, is sure.
Scarlet flower
One spring, I saw on TV a story from the Ulyanovsk region about a holiday in honor of the steppe peonies. By existing legend the scarlet flower from Aksakov's fairy tale looked exactly like steppe peonies.
I remember from my childhood. Scarlet flower
I remember from my childhood
The smooth surface of the Volga reaches and the dawn.
When, as if looking in a mirror,
I wanted to catch my dream!
And how much later in life was
Dawn, in memory of those who entered my mind ...
I keep in my memory! Memory... In memory... In memory...
Often, without thinking, we rely on memory. We think it will always be that memory will never let us down. Always with us, at hand, everything you need, just remembered - very convenient.
But there comes an age when "memory" suddenly fails us, plays with us. Now, emerging as old memories, then completely flying out of the memory of today. We begin to regret that we do not write down, we do not keep a diary.
Sometimes you want so much “I remember from my childhood ...”
That's what I remembered.
As a child, I often had tonsillitis. There came a moment when this already chronic disease became critical for me.
I'm only twelve. May month. For the first time in my life, I went to the hospital alone. It so happened that dad went on a business trip these days. Mom couldn't visit either. But I didn't cry. I knew they loved me. I am brave and strong.
On that day, all ten people aged from seven to fourteen, who were scheduled for surgery, were gathered in a general ward. At first it was not naturally fun. We swaggered in front of each other, joked. Until a nurse suddenly appeared at the door and called out someone's name. For the first time, a real childish fear crept into the ward.
The most "daring" became thoughtful and silent. Everyone was waiting for when, finally, the nurse would take me-him to no one knows where, but it is known that nothing “good” awaits us there.
And so, when our ranks decreased in once more, unexpectedly even for myself, I jumped up from my chair and shouted loudly: Everything! Enough! I can not anymore! I'll go myself!
And she went. Where? I had no idea where the nurse was taking everyone. I heard “operational block”, “right wing”, but what is it and where?
Standing alone in an empty corridor, I understand with horror way back no. I’ll be good, returning with nothing to the ward after a “fit of courage”!
I had to go. I still have no idea how I got there. Both direct and figuratively. Because I didn't know the way. Because some strange feeling attacked, my legs became cottony, and everything that happened was as if not with me.
Why are there outsiders in the operating room? Who left the children unattended? I heard a stern voice through the noise in my ears. Girl, what's your last name? Why didn't you listen?
In one second, all the wadding disappeared. - Do not punish anyone! It's me. I myself. I can no longer pretend that I'm not afraid. I am very, very afraid! Do me, finally, this terrible operation!
Woman doctor smiled beautiful eyes from under a medical bandage. - Sit down, partisan!
And I felt warm and confident. The anxiety has passed. I completely trusted this strict, but such good woman very much like her mother.
Mum. I had just been lifted from the operating room to the ward, and she was already standing under the window. It was raining heavily. Mom - no umbrella. You'll get wet, I worried. And she, not noticing the rain, spoke and spoke. What she managed for just a minute. No one is allowed to see me, you can't. That he and dad love me very much. Dad will come soon and bring something amazing.
The children in all the wards stuck to the windows and listened to my mother. Moms! All the mothers of the world can speak like only mothers can. And immediately everyone felt warm and joyful.
“Quiet Hour” that day was surprisingly quiet.
And the next day, also at a quiet hour, a nurse entered the ward. - Again your parents violate the hospital regime!
Again? Parents? Dad hasn't arrived yet, and mom couldn't. The scars in my throat were very sore, and it was painful to speak.
The nurse no longer grumbled. She was rearranging something on the bedside table, making room for a jar. In a jar, an ordinary jar, a bouquet. I have never seen such flowers before or since. Steppe flowers of extraordinary beauty!
Dad! I jumped out of bed. Pressing my forehead against the window, I whispered through a wild pain in my throat: Dad! My dad has arrived!
So we “talked” with him for many happy moments. I was silent because my throat hurt. Dad was silent because "quiet time". But we didn't need words. Everything he wanted to tell me, I read in his eyes. Sky blue eyes.
And again, all the children of the department stuck to the windows. They listened and watched the conversation between father and daughter. And they understood everything.
But the “quiet hour” did not turn out to be quiet.
"Peonies. I brought you peonies. Did they give you flowers? was the only thing dad said out loud.
It was enough to take dad's news as a guide to action. People poured into the ward in a crowd to look at the outlandish flowers brought by dad from distant lands to his beloved daughter.
Peonies? What are these peonies? I was surprised. I know what peonies look like! But the flowers were really outlandish! And it doesn't matter what they are called. Most importantly, from dad!
Many, many years have passed. Mom and Dad are no longer with me. And then one spring I saw on TV a story from the Ulyanovsk region about a holiday in honor of the steppe peonies. Peonies! These were the flowers that dad brought from a business trip! According to the existing legend, the scarlet flower from the Aksakov fairy tale looked exactly like this, the journalist said.
Scarlet flower! So that's what you are, scarlet flower! Dad will definitely bring you something amazing! I remembered my mother under the hospital window.
“At one time, the thin-leaved peony adorned the virgin expanses of Russia and Ukraine. In May, when single peony flowers opened, there was no more beautiful land: everywhere, wherever you look, the steppe forbs were full of bright red fiery spots of the plant.
But man plowed up the steppes, and with them this plant almost disappeared from nature, ”I listened to the announcer.
And the memory brought me back again and again to childhood. Father, who came from distant lands. Daddy's daughter. And a scarlet flower, of extraordinary beauty.
From my childhood I remember ... I remember! And I will always remember! And parental kindness, and daddy's eyes the color of the blue sky, and a scarlet flower.
And the fact that once, having told her parents about her childhood memories in front of her parents, every year in the spring she found a bouquet of the first snowdrops or lilies of the valley on her table.
And poems dedicated to my daughter - me, "a girl with a mark on her forehead and eyes of the color sea depth(waves)."
Rejoice in life, daughter, rejoice!
Even when it's raining.
Even when the heat is on
And my heart is cold.
Rejoice in life, rejoice!
So that in the whirlwind of proz
Every new day that passes
Only brought you happiness!
Enjoy life, daughter
REJOICE
I will try. I try dad...
Several times a year in Orthodoxy it is customary to remember the dead, pray for them and visit their graves. These days are called Parents' Saturdays. On the Saturday before the Holy Trinity Day comes Trinity Parental Saturday - the day when every Orthodox Christian commemorates the deceased relatives and loved ones.
On this day, graves are decorated with flowers and greenery.
So I remembered - parents, bright memory to Them, outlandish flowers ...
Give rest, Lord, to the souls of your departed servants: my parents, relatives, benefactors (their names) and all Orthodox Christians, and forgive them all sins, free and involuntary, and grant them the Kingdom of Heaven.
