Glowworm light

A half-hour journey of a glowworm on a straw of grass.

The story of the "fern flower" told below is even more complicated

On this somewhat magical night we have deliberately searched for ”glowworms”, some of us surely also for the ”fern flower”. The one in a group who first finds a glowing glowworm will enjoy good luck this year.

Ox-eye daisies

Oxeye daisy      Harilik härjasilm      Leucanthemum vulgare

The flower of the oxeye daisy resembles that of the corn chamomile, but it is nearly twice as big. The corn chamomile, earlier a common weed in fields, has by now become so rare that even many botanists have never seen it growing.
