Ziua trandafirului: când un floare simplu devine eroul verii

Imaginează-ți un câmp nelimitat, acoperit de petale albe cu inimioare de aur. Vântul le agită și pare că pământul zâmbește. Trandafirul este un floare cunoscut de toată lumea: și copii, și adulți, și poeți, și oameni de știință. Ea nu este exotă, nu este capricioasă, nu necesită îngrijire specială. Dar chiar în această simplătate este magia ei. Și are chiar și un zilă propriu. 24 iunie, în multe țări din lume, este marcat neoficial ca Ziua Trandafirului. În Statele Unite se numește National Daisy Day, dar și în Europa și în Rusia acest floare modest are și date festive și tradiții. În această zi ne amintim că frumusețea poate fi modestă, iar bucuria în lucruri mici.

De unde a venit: un portret botanic

Trandafirul nu este un singur tip, ci un întreg familiei de compoziții. Cel mai cunoscut este trandafirul medicinal (Matricaria chamomilla), dar există și niwa, și pupavă, și multe altele, care sunt, de asemenea, numite trandafiri. Adevărata trandafir este diferită de dublurile ei prin mirosul subțire de pâine de mere și prin căpșorul interior gol. Originea ei este Europa, Asia și Africa (Europa, Asia și Africa), dar astăzi crește pretutindeni: pe câmpuri, de-a lungul drumurilor, pe marginea drumurilor și chiar în parcurile urbane. Este neîngrădită, rezistentă și generoasă în înflorire de la mai la septembrie. Simbolismul ei este acesta: dă de sine fără să ceară nimic în schimb.

Un simbol mai vechi decât multe civilizații

Trandafirul are multe semnificații. În Egiptul antic a fost considerat un flori sfinte, dedicat zeului soarelui Ra. În mitologia scandinavă a fost flori zeiței iubirii Freya — simbolul tandreței și fertilității. În tradiția creștină, trandafirul era asociat cu Fecioara Maria, simbolizând curățenia și smerenia. Dar locul cel mai puternic pe care trandafirul l-a ocupat este în folclorul slav. Pe ea se ghiceau despre dragoste: «iubește — nu iubește», tăind petale.
