Kalina is popularly associated with girlish beauty. There is a custom: the bride gives the groom a towel with a pattern of viburnum leaves and fruits, which she embroidered with her own hands. It is believed that only a needlewoman girl can make such a gift, a symbol of tenderness, love and health. Flowers or clusters of ripe viburnum berries used to be used to decorate the wedding table and treats. I like the most common viburnum, which grows on the edges of the forest, along rivers, in ravines and near swamps. On our site there are several adult bushes of viburnum vulgaris. Two seedlings were brought from the forest about ten years ago, the rest are the result of self-sowing. They are all completely different! Near the house of our acquaintances, a luxurious bush of common viburnum has grown, strewn with clusters of incredibly large juicy berries in autumn, in which there is absolutely no bitterness. For a long time I was sure that this was a varietal viburnum bought in a nursery. It turned out that she had grown from a basal shoot of a forest bush, which struck in the fall with its berries. Viburnum ordinary (red) is a deciduous shrub, the height of which is often up to two meters. Individual shrubs grow up to three to four meters. This plant with a lush crown looks beautiful from spring to late autumn. Flowering begins in May and continues into June. Kalina is a good honey plant with white flat corymbose inflorescences. It is easy to distinguish two types of flowers in them. In the center are small, bud-like tubular flowers, without which there will be no berries. Along the edge is an elegant barren flower, large sterile flowers that attract pollinating insects. Mass ripening of fruits begins in August. They are harvested later, from September, when they become juicy, like rubies. In some berries, the juice is so clear that a flattened pit is visible through it. Clusters of scarlet berries remain on the bush for a long time, decorating the bush even in the dark period of pre-winter. In autumn, the common viburnum bush causes general delight, competing with many valuable ornamental plants. Viburnum ordinary is unpretentious. She is content with the most ordinary care and does not need complex agricultural technology. However, you can always recognize a well-groomed bush, as it will be not only healthy and fruitful, but also especially elegant. Fruits in the form of a collection are used as a vitamin remedy, as well as an intensifying contraction of the heart muscle, diuretic and diaphoretic. In folk medicine, all parts of viburnum are widely used. A decoction of the bark reduces and stops various internal bleeding, especially uterine, increases the tone of the uterus, constricts blood vessels and has antispasmodic, anticonvulsant and sedative effects. Kalina se asocia popularmente con la belleza juvenil. Hay una costumbre: la novia le da al novio una toalla con un patrón de hojas y frutos de viburnum, que ella misma borda con sus propias manos. Se cree que solo una niña costurera puede hacer tal regalo, un símbolo de ternura, amor y salud. Las flores o racimos de bayas de viburnum maduras solían usarse para decorar la mesa de la boda y las golosinas. Me gusta el viburnum más común, que crece en los bordes del bosque, a lo largo de los ríos, en los barrancos y cerca de los pantanos. En nuestro sitio hay varios arbustos adultos de viburnum vulgaris. Dos plántulas fueron traídas del bosque hace unos diez años, el resto son fruto de la auto-siembra. ¡Todos son completamente diferentes! Cerca de la casa de nuestros conocidos, ha crecido un lujoso arbusto de viburnum común, salpicado de racimos de bayas jugosas increíblemente grandes en otoño, en las que no hay absolutamente nada amargo. Durante mucho tiempo estuve seguro de que se trataba de un viburnum varietal comprado en un vivero. Resultó que había crecido a partir de un brote basal de un arbusto del bosque, que golpeó en otoño con sus bayas. Viburnum ordinario (rojo) es un arbusto de hoja caduca, cuya altura suele ser de hasta dos metros. Los arbustos individuales crecen hasta tres o cuatro metros. Esta planta con una corona exuberante se ve hermosa desde la primavera hasta finales del otoño. La floración comienza en mayo y continúa hasta junio. Kalina es una buena planta de miel con inflorescencias corimbosas planas blancas. Es fácil distinguir en ellas dos tipos de flores. En el centro hay pequeñas flores tubulares con forma de capullo, sin las cuales no habrá bayas. A lo largo del borde hay una elegante flor estéril, grandes flores estériles que atraen a los insectos polinizadores. En la medicina popular, todas las partes de viburnum se usan ampliamente. Una decocción de la corteza reduce y detiene diversas hemorragias internas, especialmente uterinas, aumenta el tono del útero, contrae los vasos sanguíneos y tiene efectos antiespasmódicos, anticonvulsivos y sedantes.
