Man could never exist without making discoveries and writing interesting legends. His inquisitive mind led to the emergence of achievements in hundreds of fields of science, not bypassing selection. Those who like to give the garden an aesthetic look know many varieties of excellent plants, and they have certainly heard of such a zest as the "fiery flower". This name was given to several types of plants, an old legend is associated with it, and it also inspired the writer Kalinauskas to create one of his works.
Monarda
This herbaceous plant belongs to the broad family of labiales. The closest "relatives" of the monarda are: coleus (which has a second name, thanks to which people recognize it, African nettle), sage and peppermint. The homeland of the plant is North America, where it is located in hot prairies, shady forests, in dense thickets of bushes - in a word, the locals consider this flower a weed.
Fiery it was called when they saw how beautifully bright pink flowers “blaze” against the background of dark green stems. The Indians used monarda as a medicinal plant. Its leaves have antiseptic properties, so they were used to treat wounds, treat skin diseases with them, and also brewed an infusion that was used to gargle an inflamed throat. The dried leaves of the plant are used as an aromatic addition to tea, to give it a subtle taste of citrus fruits.
Aeschynanthus
The flowering of this plant is an indescribably beautiful picture, because of which it began to be called nothing more than a “flower of fire”. First of all, buds are formed, then burgundy calyx bracts appear. And only after the plant flashes bright red flowers.
It blooms, as a rule, from early spring to late autumn, interrupted for a short period. Aeschinanthus is picky in care, the only constant condition is bright, diffused lighting throughout the year. With a lack of light, the plant will not begin to bloom. Watering should be moderate. If the flower stops getting enough moisture, and the air is too dry, it will shed its leaves. However, this is not a reason to go too far with watering, otherwise the eschananthus will begin to rot.
If it turns out that the air in the room is too dry, you need to spray the leaves, but in no case should you do this in the sun, otherwise the plant may get burned. The plant does not tolerate sudden changes in temperature. So that over time the eschinanthus does not slow down the rate of flowering, it needs to organize a competent wintering: air temperatureshould be kept around 17 degrees, and watering should be reduced.
Violet - fiery flower
Elena Lebetskaya is a successful breeder living in Vinnitsa. At first, the woman was simply fond of collecting varieties of violets, but later she realized that this was not enough for her. She started breeding new species on her own.
Violet-Le (fire flower) is one of the amazing varieties of plants obtained through the painstaking work of Elena. Large velvet dark burgundy leaves are woven into a graceful dance with semi-double stars of petals decorated with ruffled edges. Dark green waves of leaves surround this fire, putting an end to the composition.

Legends related to the fire flower

Exactly at twelve at night on the eve of the holiday of Ivan Kupala, one of the ferns blooms for a few seconds,between its leaves appears a fiery flower with magical properties. When the clock hand approaches midnight, a bud suddenly appears from the leaves of the plant, which begins to rise up step by step, stops for a moment, trembles, continues to move again, turns over sharply and starts tossing.
As soon as the cuckoo counts twelve times, the bud breaks with a loud crack, and the eyes of the curious, who managed to find the right fern, appear a blazing flower, so bright that a person cannot watch it for a long time.
The next moment, someone unseen rips it off, depriving the person of the chance to do so. It is believed that the one who manages to find a flowering fern and master the fiery flower will receive the power to rule the whole world.
