In fact, I had to write this post in early March, but it flew and moved here about the end of April, which does not, however, is quite senseless considering spring aura prevailing in nature. A benefit will be about Narcissus żonkilu . flower is known to people since time immemorial. Even after the Greek mythology we find the story of Narcissus - a beautiful boy who saw his own reflection in a stream, fell in love with himself hopeless love. finally died of vain longing, and when it lodged in the ground, the grave grew a flower with white petals and a heart of gold, which was called the narcissus. *
And how daffodil? Unfortunately, this name is not in itself no mystery, though my slightly warped mind of a link tag doszukiwał wives, wives of several of the killer, which given the poisonous properties of this plant, the onion in principle not so different from the usual appearance onions, and probably more than once was quietly added to the dish with the dinner, which often became the victims of last meal. Daffodil is a version of the French name polonized Jonquille , which in turn derives from English, where junquillo - diminutive of junco - means a cane or rushes.
Welsh daffodils chose their national symbol, which is also dedicated to the patron saint of Wales - St. David (Dewi Sant), Welsh archbishop, who lived in the sixth century, perhaps even quite sure English name of the daffodil - daffodil - originates from the Welsh name variations saint - Daffyd . St Patrick's Day. David, is celebrated across the UK first March and that day I started the season somewhat żonkilowy. In parks, gardens and lawns can watch all the carpets of flowers that sparkle with all possible shades of yellow, and the streets meet people with artificial daffodils Strip plugged in coat or jacket lapel. But wearing a daffodil with a jacket in this case is not only a symbol of celebration of Welsh patron, or wait for spring, the smell of every day is increasingly felt in the air, but a symbol of charity to support The Great Daffodil Appeal organized annually by the Foundation Marie Curie Cancer Care that people with cancer and other diseases in the terminal phase provides free nursing care at home. The organization was founded in 1948, but the tradition in March to raise money and distribute the daffodils began in 1986 in Norwich and Liverpool, and two years later achieved the status of a national campaign. Currently, The Great Daffodil Appeal
is probably one of the most recognizable charities in Britain supported such by such celebrities as Hugh Grant and Stephen Fry. Żonkilową action may also be encouraged in Poland. Already 13 years annually Society of Friends of the Sick "Hospice. St. Lazarus "in Krakow coordinates a nationwide campaign Fields of Hope which model The Great Daffodil Appeal is intended to raise funds to care for the terminally ill. The campaign lasts almost the entire spring and embrace issue when it claimed not only the street but also competitions for children and young people in schools, concerts, festivals and other outdoor events, as well as the launch of a special Żonkilowego Tram.
support share is not difficult - just a small contribution to the thrown cans or 1% transfer tax. Soon is a deadline for the submission of the pits, so if anyone else has not done and has no idea what to assign 1%, is willing to propose Fields of Hope. It is really worth. ---------------------------
