Flowers - a tourist assistants

Regional specialists noticed that the honeysuckle scent increases sharply, sometimes long, hours, fifteen or twenty to rain. At this time, the barometer has not yet said would decrease the pressure, but a pencil more sensitive barograph said to him. Even more sensitive buckeye. Isolation of the sticky sap on its leaves often presages bad weather for twenty-five to fifty hours. This plant barometers. But with only one barometer is impossible to make predictions. Should take into account the humidity, wind and temperature changes. Determine the humidity can be watching the plants. Bramble leaves in dry air falls down. Horizontal and vertical positioning them said about the humidity, and may portend bad weather. Fern reacts to the dryness of the twisting of the leaves. I calla the wing is usually adjacent to a flower. With an abundance of moisture, it is rejected and sometimes becomes a right angle. Horsetail before dry sunny day strenuously pulls water from the ground. This can be seen by the abundance of juice in the bottom proglottides young shoots of horsetail, if they break early in the morning. In observing the plants need to know that, working with the devices, all measurements are made at a height of two meters. Plants also are usually near the ground surface, where it can create its own microclimate. Therefore, you should take into account the habitat of this plant. If it grows in high-rise building or in an open, accessible place of the wind - evidence of its more accurate. Some plants may also serve as a thermometer, even "ahead of" them. The famous Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus says that the young inflorescences of carrot and pansies "feel" the approach of cold weather. They cringe and lowered heads when the thermometer still does not show the drop in temperature, but "sleep" they are so only before the onset of a particularly cold night. It would be nice to you, tourists, to see what other plants and how to react to the cold snap. Many of you know how to navigate the bark of trees. Know that some flowers, such as young sunflower, turning of the sun, and in cloudy weather can look in any direction, not just to the north. Berries and fruits rozoveyut the south side. This plant compasses. Very common in our plant clock. Experienced hikers in the morning in early August in Moscow mchezhet say: "Yastrebinka umbrella opened. Consequently, already the ninth. But chicory has not yet closed. Hence, the nine yet. " Each of you will remember the picture INKramskoy: a girl sitting on the bench of a moonlit night, and at her feet in a little pond swimming white lilies. This suggests that the great artist was a bad local historian. Lily flower in the late afternoon, always at a certain hour, and rose leaves under water, and in the morning again to the surface. Plant-hour mass. They literally surround us. Linnaeus in his book "Dream Plant" gives a table, here and dandelion and salsify, chicory, skerda, cloves, sow thistle, geranium, poppy, sparrow millet, Silene dubia, potatoes, flax, coltsfoot, and many others. Some open on the day, others at night, while others are disclosed only in the mornings, but all "know" their time. Not all of them show the time the flower. Sorrel, for example, on the night folds its leaves are threefold. Table Linnaeus use, we can not - it is made in Sweden in June. But such a table, with respect to the latitude of their localities and adjusted for calendar dates, you can make. We are the regional specialists. Once summer school camp the 46 th Moscow school we had a "museum in nature". Trees, shrubs and some flowers put detailed labels, labels, and were observing the behavior of our living exhibits. Made detailed notes and sketches. The boys became friends over the summer with their green satellites. Many have understood, learned a lot, and most importantly, used to treat kokruzhayuschemu thoughtfully. Become a real regional specialists. Found in the literature and other plants - geologists, soil scientists, hydrologists. Golden violet grows on soils that contain zinc. In places where it grows, geologists have found rich deposits of ore. Caddis of the family portulakovyh says that deep under it there is a cold source. Mlechnik shows the presence in the soil of salt. Belous, blueberries, blackberries, sedges, pickerel, heather readily grow in acidic soils, and oak, clover, borscht-nick and coltsfoot prefer alkaline. There are plants growing best in soils that contain sulfur, calcium, silicon, magnesium and manganese. Tourists need to become better acquainted with our friends, with flowers: a compass, clock, weather forecasters and others.
