We are just discussing with students a passage from a poem by Mickiewicz. "Where the amber spruce, buckwheat as white as snow, where the maiden's blush of the sagebrush is burning"-every Pole knows these words from "Pan Tadeusz". And did you know that this clover from the photo can be called angelica? This is an old regional name for fodder plants from the bean family, including this very clover.
Scabious is otherwise known as swede radish or field mustard, but reportedly some people wonder if it is not yellow rapeseed....
In the second photo, another blushing holly over the Dead Vistula River from Legnicka Street, with the picturesque cable-stayed bridge in the background.
My students and I like archaisms, it's such a cool monument, a trace of the continuous development of the language.
But today it poured, thunderstorm and hail. Fortunately, I only watched the downpour through the window at work.
