10 Amaranthus (marxants, mocs de gall) de les Guilleries:

👉 https://floraguilleries.cat/etiquetes/amaranthus/

Es tracta d'espècies -majoritàriament d'origen americà- que a casa nostra es fan en ambients ruderals (conreus, vores de camins, herbassars nitròfils...).

Una bona part floreixen a final d'estiu i a la tardor, de manera que ara encara són ben visibles.

#December 9, 1608
#OTD John #Milton, #English #Poet, is born.

His #Elegy, called #Lycidas, was dedicated to his #Friend, Edward King, who died young.

The #Poem mentions 11 #Flowers at his #Funeral including the #Primrose, #TuftedCrowToe, #Gessamine, #Pansy, #Violet, #MuskRose, #Woodbine, & #Cowslips.

The #Verse ends:

Every #Flower that #Sad #Embroidery wears:
Bid #Amaranthus all his #Beauty shed,
& #Daffadillies fill their cups with #Tears,
To strew the #Laureate #Hearse where #Lycid lies.
