Why many of us feel an enormous
pleasure looking at roses? And why we look at some flowers quitе indifferently? We chose meticulously a bouquet for our beloved ones.
Of course, we are attracted by a beauty of roses, tulips, golden-daisies. We also admire a lot of quite simple
plants, as forget-me-nots. What attract us in flowers? Only their beauty,
freshness and fragrance?
Why our ancient predecessors attributed a magic force
to particular plants? Druids chose the mistletoe, some African tribes worshiped
maize. If we read the Bible with more attention we’ll find that the fig-tree
played an important role in dramatic events both of the Old and New
Testaments. Lilies are honored in Koran.
A cult of plants exists in Buddhism, the fig-tree is esteemed particularly as a World tree.
