Delphinium/Дельфиниум в капельках

            The Larkspur is a member of the Delphinium family, named by the Greeks because it resembled a dolphin’s head. They have been reclassified as ‘consolida’ which effectively means, ‘we don’t know where to file it’…it’s latin for undetermined. I rather like that….little renegade.

Название связано с формой цветка. Греки, в частности Диоскорид, (в 1веке в своем основном сочинении»О лекарственных средствах» описал все известные медикаменты растительного, животного и минерального происхождения) сравнивали бутоны с головой дельфинов (delphinos). В России его называли «шпорник», в Германии — «рыцарские шпоры», в Англии  -«забавные шпоры», а во Франции — «жаворонкины ножки».
Греческая легенда гласит, что когда-то в Древней Элладе жил одаренный юноша, который по памяти изваял свою погибшую возлюбленную и вдохнул в изваяние жизнь. За эту дерзость боги превратили его в дельфина. Однажды возрожденная девушка пришла на берег моря и увидела в волнах дельфина, который подплыл к берегу и положил к ногам возлюбленной нежный цветок, излучающий лазоревый свет. Это был цветок дельфиниума.
