"Coltsfoot"

The coltsfoot appears on the thawed patches in early April. This perennial plant is similar to the dandelion, but much smaller. In addition, the dandelion first has a leaf rosette, and then flowers. The coltsfoot has flowers first. Basket flowers are on a stem covered with brownish scales (modified leaves).

At night and in bad weather, the coltsfoot flower tightly closes its petals. Much later, when the plant fades, large, rounded heart-shaped serrated leaves grow.

From above they are bright green, shiny, harsh, cold, from below the leaves are covered with thick white velvety fluff, which, if applied to the hand, warms. Why, apparently, the name of the plant came about.

Coltsfoot as a medicinal plant has been known for a long time. Tincture from the flowers of this plant was used for colds, coughs, and also to stimulate appetite. Decoctions and infusions of coltsfoot are also used in the form of wet dressings, compresses, lotions, in the treatment of infectious wounds.

"Dandelion"

Dandelion officinalis is one of the most common perennial plants. The leaves are smooth, the flowers are bright yellow. This is a plant with a leafless flower stem (arrow). Leaves basal, in the form of a rosette. The fruits are seeds with a tuft.

Grows in fields, meadows, gardens, forests, along roads, near dwellings. For medicinal purposes, mainly the roots are used; leaves.

All parts of the plant have an antipyretic effect, and are also used to stimulate appetite. Dandelion has a calming effect, helps with insomnia. Externally, the milky juice of dandelion is used to remove calluses. Roasted roots are used as a coffee surrogate, and young leaves - in the form of a spring vitamin salad that improves metabolism (to remove bitterness, the leaves are placed in salt water for half an hour).

Dandelion Vitamin Salad

They take young spring dandelion leaves, wash, grind, season with vegetable oil, you can add a little citric acid or vinegar and serve immediately. Lettuce spoils quickly, so you need to prepare it at once.

Spring and primroses are related concepts. The coltsfoot also belongs to the spring primroses. Mother and stepmother is a bold flower. Why? We learn about this from a fairy tale ...

The Tale of Spring-Red and Mother-and-Stepmother

Spring-red came to the Reserved Forest, looks at everything. The surroundings are dark and gloomy. Spring is coming, quietly red, looking at the sky. And the sky, like a blue canvas soaked with dampness, seems sad over the black inhospitable earth.

“We need to change everything,” Spring hurries. - Tired of gray and dark tones. We need to add new colors. Where to begin? Maybe stir up the snow, free the earth from them, and then flowers will appear? There is nothing more colorful than flowers.

Spring reasoned like this, only the very flowers that she thought about had already appeared from under the ground.

“And we don’t want to wait for all the snow to melt,” said the little yellow flowers called coltsfoot.

“Since you are so brave,” said Spring, “it is very good. You, like little suns scattered on the ground, give joy. Just do not forget to close at night, otherwise there are frosts at night.

The real big Sun, smiling slyly, sent its warmest rays to the bold flowers to warm them up.

Have you guys seen Spring? She walks around...

The spring sun warmed, and round gold coins scattered on the thawed patches.

“The spring of flowers is opened by the very early first-born - coltsfoot. This golden snowdrop grows on sunny clay ravines and blooms before all grasses - before the exhibition of hives, before the departure of the first bees, before the ice breaks. This is what the phenologist and writer Dmitry Zuev wrote about the mother-and-stepmother.

On the thawed patch is the first flower.

How defenseless and small he is!

A sharp wind shook him,

Bend the stalk to the ground,

Frozen in the predawn mist,

But the brave flower survived!

I'll kneel before him

Touch the petals with your hand -

How much wisdom and patience

In this drop of gold!

Remember what a coltsfoot flower looks like?

It has a low stem, covered with a soft, light fluff that protects the flower from the cold; brown, sharp leaves that look like scales are tightly pressed to the stem.

The real large leaves of this plant appear later, in the middle of summer, when there are no more flowers. The leaves are large and dark green.

Why is the flower called coltsfoot?

Yes, because the lower part of the leaf is covered with thick white hairs. If you stroke it with your hand, you will feel softness and warmth. It's like a loving mother caressed you. And the upper part of the leaf is smooth, cold. Like the touch of a stern stepmother.

The flowers of the coltsfoot are collected in a round inflorescence because each flower individually is too small and fragile to withstand bad weather - snow, rain, wind, and insects will soon notice a bright golden inflorescence. Recently woken up after a long harsh winter bees and bumblebees fly to the flowers of the coltsfoot for honey and, flying from flower to flower, pollinate them.

When the coltsfoot flower fades, it will turn into a white fluffy hat. Each seed is supplied by nature with a small airy fluff-parachute, which helps the seed to fly away from the mother plant. When the seed lands, the parachute falls off.

Flowers have coltsfoot interesting feature: they open in the morning, and close before bad weather and at night - they save a drop of sweet precious nectar.

Ecological fairy tale about primroses "The first heralds of spring"

Maley Galina Alekseevna, teacher of GBDOU Kindergarten No. 73 Krasnoselsky district of St. Petersburg
Description: The author's fairy tale introduces children to the flowers that bloom in the very first spring: lambs-keys, lungwort, coltsfoot.
Purpose: The fairy tale can be used by educators, parents to read to children of preschool age.
Target:
- Introduce children to some early flowering plants.
- Arouse interest in the world of plants.
- To give children an idea that all plants are important in nature.
- Development of cognitive activity of children.

Take care of primroses
Spring's first steps!
A little warmed by the early sun.

Those first flowers!

The bright spring sun warmed the earth. The Bumblebee woke up in his warm nest and flew off to get his breakfast - sweet pollen and nectar in the first spring flowers.

Flying low over the ground, he suddenly saw a young bee sitting sadly on a dry blade of grass.


He landed next to her and sympathetically asked why she was so sad on such a warm, glorious morning. The bee said that for the first time she flew out of the hive, that she was very hungry, but did not know where to fly and where to look for food. Bumblebee invited her to become friends and invited her to fly with him to a clearing near the forest. The bee was very happy with the new friend and agreed with pleasure. Cheerfully they rose into the air and flew, buzzing their wings. On the way, the Bumblebee told the Bee that spring opens with keys - such beautiful and useful flowers that bloom, like other snowdrops, the very first.

The flowers of the rams - the keys are yellow, bright. They are raised high on a stalk and gathered together like a bunch of small golden keys. It is with these very keys that spring opens the door to the sun and warmth. “Why are they also called rams? - the bee was curious. “Because their leaves are covered with a very soft fluff, like the fur of a young lamb,” Bumblebee replied. Arriving at the clearing, the Bumblebee introduced the Bee to this beautiful primrose. She began to cheerfully examine the golden keys and suddenly, her eyes were attracted by yellow little lights-flowers, similar to a small sun. There were many of them, because they all grew side by side, like a big friendly family.
What is this wonderful flower?


- Oh, this is really a wonderful unusual flower - coltsfoot. You know, she doesn't have leaves. The life of a mother-and-stepmother in the spring begins right with flowering, and the leaves will appear much later, when the flowers have already faded. Each sheet will be large, wide, like a palm. From above, these leaves are smooth and cold, and from below - soft and warm. If you put such a leaf with the bottom side to your cheek, it will seem to you that your mother's hands have touched your cheek. And if you put a piece of paper on the other, cold side, it will become unpleasant for you. That is why this plant has such a name - coltsfoot.
- What a curious unusual flower! Bee was surprised.
- You know, I have a favorite place not far in the grove, there is my cafe called "Tsvetofor" or "Chamelion" - Bumblebee said proudly. - Let's fly, I'll give you honey to drink. And the Bumblebee dragged the Bee along to the grove.


Flying up to the “cafe”, and seeing a colorful plant with bright flowers of different shades, the Bee understood the meaning of the name “Tsvetofor”. On the same low stalk bloomed bright flowers three shades at once. Some are pink, some are purple, and some are completely blue.
- Pink, - Bumblebee explains, - they come when they just bloom. Some time will pass, and from pink they will first turn purple, and then blue.
And what a fragrant honey smell spills from a flower heated by the sun!
- Sweet honey. There is honey in the name. And this flower is called - lungwort, - sang the Bumblebee. The name of the flower comes from the word "honey" because there is a lot of sweet nectar juice in its flowers, he added. And the leaves of the lungwort are covered with special hairs, which, like woolen clothes, protect it from the spring cold.
- Help yourself! But first, tell me, what shade of flower would you fly to first?
- To pink, - the Bee answered timidly.
- That's right, the pink flower has the most nectar, they are the most fragrant. In purple it is smaller, and in blue its minimum amount. Help yourself, - Bumblebee suggested once again.
The bee drank delicious sweet honey.
- Thank you very much for the treat and for introducing me to such beautiful primroses. I now know which flowers will share their nectar and delicious pollen with me. And now it's time for me to go home to the hive. I hope we'll be friends forever now?
“Of course,” Bumblebee replied. - Fly to me in the "cafe" every morning. I will be glad to see you.
- Thank you very much. Goodbye!
- Till tomorrow. - Bumblebee joyfully looked after his new friend.
