Perfoliate honeysuckle

Perfoliate honeysuckle

Meet the fragrant beautiful climber, the Honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium). In Swedish “Kaprifol”. Climbs up to eight metres and spreads a lovely smell in the evening.

You can look but you better not touch, the berries are poisonous. Not deadly but your last meal will exit the wrong way and your face will go very red. You can also experience an excessive thirst.

Now I’m going for a beer, Ha de Gött!

Nottingham catchfly

Nottingham catchfly

The unknown flower from yesterday is now identified as Nottingham catchfly (silene nutans). In Swedish “Backglim”. Thank you for trying to identify this. There is a proverb in Swedish that basically says “don’t cross the stream for water”. It was my neighbor who identified it.

Ha de Gött!

Daisy

Daisy

Daisy (bellis perenis) a little beautiful flower with a name for a cow. In Swedish “Tusensköna”. A bit more poetic using the Haddock translation technique. Split the word in two parts “tusen” and “sköna” then translate. Then it becomes the flower of Thousand Beauties. A bit more poetic, don’t you think.

Don’t get me wrong. I love cows, grew up on a farm with cows, several of them named Daisy. So stay tuned. To make the balance right I will try to come up with a cow poem in the future. Muu! Ha de Gött!
