Spike-shaped brushes with yellow fragrant flowers at the common agaric, or "burdock". Grows in meadows and light forests. A fairly good honey plant, has long been used in folk medicine
It is common in mountain meadows
Highlander meat-red, or crayfish necks, with a very attractive apical spike-shaped cylindrical pink inflorescence. The flowers of the mountaineer are gathered in a dense spikelet, like a feathered arrow stuck into the green of the meadow. With massive flowering from lancet stems dazzles in the eyes. It is also called wild buckwheat. An ancient medicinal plant. Leaves and young shoots are edible. A good melliferous and very ornamental plant. The viviparous mountaineer is very interesting, multiplying by bulbs that form on the stems.
In the meadows, we can always find species of the carnation family: carnations, tar, gerbils. Records of the rise of plants in height in the mountain meadows behind them. They also settle on creeping talus and stones. If we always recognize a carnation, then we will remember the smoles for the unpleasantly sticky tops of the stems and inflorescences. Since childhood, we are familiar with the goblet boxes of cloves, which are used as whistles.
Who has not seen mountain meadows, completely covered with lush bushes
hellebore
and red-brown sultans of high
horse sorrel
These weeds are very demanding on the soil, so they clog good meadows. The rough stalks of the horse sorrel, which thrives on the livestock-drenched meadow, remain completely inedible. The meadow is abundantly inseminated, thereby displacing the more valuable grasses. The abundance of hellebore and horse sorrel in the meadow is an indicator of deep disturbances in the valuable herbage due to overgrazing.
The meadows are characterized by
geraniums: meadow, Ruprecht, blood-red, dissected and others, poorly eaten by livestock. Plantains are common here: medium, lanceolate and goatbeard.
Among the forbs in the meadow there are also many poisonous herbs (buttercups, milkweed, aconites, poisonous milestones and others). You can often find a special group of human herbaceous companions, armed with thorns and thorns - wasteland plants, which bypasses livestock (cockleburs, thorns).
In the meadows we will see unusual
diphelipea red (fucking pipe)
parasitic
broomrape … Curtains of golden
swimwear complement the decoration of the meadow, woven with slender stalks of cereals. The color of the flowers is distinguished by Caucasian cyanosis, pink chamomile, raspberry panicles of willow-tea, tall sage sultans, fragrant mint.
Sedge
Sedges differ from cereals by a dense, always triangular stem, usually grooved leaves and characteristic fruits - "bags" that look like a bottle. The leaves of large sedges are easy enough to cut, since they are provided with fossilized cones at the edges, which is why these herbs were called cutters, or even green "blades". Their rhizomes, growing, are compacted into hummocks, sometimes very impressive in size. They give rough "sour" hay. In wet meadows, sometimes they constitute the bulk of the grass stand. She is usually found with herpes. In winter, they leave green, alive.
Of sedge in mountain meadows are common
cobresia hairy
sedges: sad, Bush, Caucasian and others.
In addition to the fodder value, sedges are interesting in that they have formed large deposits of peat (Tarskoye bog). The process of peat accumulation continues to this day. The grass stand of meadows during the whole season from spring to late autumn changes several times, which is called a change of aspects. Bright colors of blooming forbs always arouse interest in meadows.
