𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍 001.

O crepúsculo descia sobre a Terra das Fadas, e Rosetta, a fada das flores, estava mergulhada em suas redes virtuais, tecendo expectativas enquanto buscava um pretendente. Entre suspiros e nervosismo, decidiu desfrutar de um néctar feérico para aliviar as tensões. Porém, a bebida, carregada de uma magia intoxicante, fez com que seus olhos se cerrassem involuntariamente.

Antes que pudesse sair em busca de sua potencial alma gêmea, o sono a envolveu como uma manta mágica, transportando-a para o reino onírico. No mundo dos sonhos, Rosetta encontrou-se em um exuberante jardim de flores, suas mãos delicadas cuidadosamente manuseando as mais encantadoras e venenosas.

Diante de um diário aberto, ela começou a colar exemplares de flores, detalhando minuciosamente suas propriedades. Mesmo sendo a fada das flores, havia decidido documentar essas particularidades depois que alguém, tentando trocar de talento, a desafiou. Este diário serviria não apenas como um arquivo pessoal, mas como um guia para as fadas jardineiras novatas.

Rosetta, a fada das flores venenosas, emergia em seu sonho, envolta em uma aura de mistério. Com habilidade meticulosa, ela extraía cuidadosamente venenos e espinhos de uma flor. Entre suas mãos habilidosas, revelava os segredos da Oenanthe crocata, uma flor cujo veneno desconhecido quase lhe custou a vida. Rosetta, sempre apaixonada por flores venenosas, agora sabia da importância de conhecer cada detalhe.

Enquanto mergulhava na extração do veneno, uma figura misteriosa, vestida de vermelho, surgiu nos confins do sonho. As cores que ela amava dançavam ao redor da figura, mas seu rosto permanecia velado. Uma salvadora silenciosa, envolto em mistério, que emergia para resgatá-la da morte iminente. A voz do vento sussurrava os ecos daquela noite, mas Rosetta, ainda adormecida, não conseguia distinguir os traços do rosto da figura vermelha. O sonho continuava, um capítulo encantado na noite da Terra das Fadas, onde a magia se entrelaçava com a realidade de maneiras imprevisíveis.

Ao despertar, Rosetta abriu os olhos com um suspiro frustrado. O sonho deixou-lhe um gosto amargo na boca. Ela remexeu-se na cama, irritada por ter perdido a oportunidade de encontrar seu pretendente naquela noite, quando a névoa sonolenta parecia se desfazer, uma voz sutil, melodiosa e feminina, sussurrou ao ouvido de Rosetta — Nesta cidade amaldiçoada, os segredos são tecidos nas sombras e pertencem a um rei chamado Harol. As palavras, carregadas de um misticismo inquietante, ecoaram suavemente em sua mente antes que ela acordasse.

—— Que doce sonho, tão cheio de segredos e mistérios. Quem diria que as fofocas da cidade amaldiçoada seriam reveladas por uma fada tagarela! Atenção, Rosetta, essa cidade pertence a um rei chamado Harol. Rosetta imita seu sussurro, como se estivesse compartilhando a última fofoca do reino das fadas.

A fada jardineira esboça um sorriso sarcástico enquanto se levantava e caminha até a a segunda gaveta em sua escrivaninha. —— E quanto ao meu encontro? Reclama. —— Parece que até no mundo dos sonhos, o romance está destinado a fugir de mim. Talvez eu precise de um GPS feérico para encontrar alguém, ou de uma boa xicara de café. Bom, pelo menos meu diário de flores está intacto e sem veneno!

Wikipedia rabbithole, starting with BBC letter-to-editor mentioning that the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, who died in Eboracum (modern York), was of African origin—

Septimius Severus’s birthplace was near what is now Tripoli, Libya, and his father’s side of the family had Punic ( Carthaginian/Phoenician) origins;

the “Punic peoples” article’s first illustration has the caption “Sardo-Punic mask showing a Sardonic grin”, in which “Sardonic grin” has its own article link;

the “Sardonic grin” was named for the island of Sardinia and the “ancient belief that ingesting the sardonion (σαρδόνιον) plant from Sardinia (Σαρδώ) would result in convulsions resembling laughter and, ultimately, death”;

“sardonion” links to “Oenanthe (plant)”, specifically a subsection mentioning “hemlock water dropwort (Oenanthe crocata)” which was “purportedly used for the ritual killing of elderly people and criminals in Nuragic Sardinia, in which they were intoxicated with the herb and then dropped from a high rock or beaten to death” (very Midsommar);

another section of “Oenanthe (plant)” mentions that a plant of that name was described in ancient times “as having ‘white flowers... and many round heads’ [which] was [mis]interpreted by medieval herbalists as dropwort or an umbellifer”;

my brain suddenly pings umbellifers and hemlock together with Tolkien and I find this: http://khkeeler.blogspot.com/2014/12/plant-confusion-hemlock-both-umbels-and.html

…and now as I stare at this chain, my brain cell is trying to wrap around a tangle of names and fandoms to put Snape in Daeron’s place sitting in a tree with a flute to grimly tootle sad songs of unrequited love (except for old versions of the legendarium where Daeron was Luthien’s brother)

Factoide #4635

(#4635) Oenanthe crocata, "el apio del diablo"

Es la planta más venenosa del Reino Unido. Su veneno contrae los músculos, provocando la muerte por asfixia, lo que también provoca una sonrisa de muerte parecida a un rictus. El uso de esta planta en la Cerdeña fenicia para las ejecuciones es el origen del término "Mueca sardónica".

L'œnanthe fistuleuse

Cultivez de l'œnanthe fistuleuse

présentation

Cette plante est très utile pour les bassins de jardin car elle épure l'eau que ce dernier contient. On l'appelle également Oenanthe fistulosa qui est son nom scientifique. Sa culture est facile ainsi que son entretien. Son besoin en eau est très important. Elle fait partie de la famille des Apiacées. Elle a une croissance assez rapide. Vous pouvez la trouver dans des endroits humides voire marécageux, au bord de ruisseaux et toute autre étendue d'eau. Attention, certaines espèces sont très toxiques, comme par exemple l''œnanthe crocata qui contient le poison actif énanthotoxine.

culture

Choisissez-lui un emplacement humide, voire immergée sur une dizaine de centimètres. Son exposition de prédilection est plein soleil, mais elle s’accommode également aux emplacement mi-ombragés. La mi-ombre ralentit un peu la vitesse de sa croissance. Il faut que le sol soit de préférence riche en nutriments azotés principalement. Sa plantation doit s'effectuer en règle générale soit à la fin de la saison hivernale ou bien au début de la saison printanière afin d'obtenir une floraison très tôt dans la saison. Effectuez cette opération hors période de gel. Suivant l'espèce cultivé, chaque sujet doit être espacé d'une soixantaine de centimètres à 1m20. Elle peut se cultiver jusqu'à 700 mètres d'altitude.

entretien

L'entretien de l'œnanthe fistuleuse est quasiment inexistant. Contentez-vous de la contenir en supprimant les stolons qu'elle produit pendant son développement. Lorsque la floraison commence, vous devez supprimer toutes les grappes de fleurs sur le pourtour de la plante pour ne garder que celles du centre. Cela permet de garder à l'œnanthe fistuleuse un très beau feuillage. Rabattez la plante au ras du sol au début de la saison hivernale.

parasites & maladies

L'œnanthe fistuleuse est très résistante aux parasites et aux maladies.

multiplication

L'œnanthe fistuleuse se multiplie spontanément par stolon. Si vous souhaitez en cultiver ailleurs sur un sol humide ou bien en offrir à vos amies, il suffit de séparer les stolons de la plante. C'est un peu le même système que pour les fraisiers.

association

L'œnanthe fistuleuse préfère s'épanouir toute seule sans le voisinage d'autres plantes.

I also had to run this hemlock gauntlet - all those overhanging plants are Oenanthe crocata (hemlock water-dropwort), the most poisonous plant in the UK

I went for a walk and saw all three of my favourite wildflower genera - Veronica (speedwell), Vicia (vetch), and Viola (violet)

Mira I’m gonna have to ask you to release my wife.

Else we’re gonna have an issue.

Don’t mind my conveniently placed bear trap next to my guillotine I keep for historic preservation.

And no I’m not calculating seven different ways to hide a body, or the different plants that can kill you.

Did you know about the plant that kills you, and leaves a smile on your face?

Oenanthe Crocata, more commonly known as hemlock water dropwort. Quite lethal.

Actually the most dangerous snake there is, the black coffin snake, you might be able to mistake as a garden snake. Until of course it opens its mouth and you see that it’s shaped as a coffin.

Actually my friend makes pipe bombs for fun in his spare time, I could always borrow a few from him.

Anyways what were we discussing?

Oh yah! Maybe let Nova out the basement before I come and get her? ☺️

ahhh scary 🧍🏾‍♀️

Lockdown Painting 135 The phrase "sardonic grin," commonly used to describe a bitter or scornful smile, has its roots in a highly poisonous plant indigenous to the Mediterranean island Sardinia, according to new research. Phytochemical analysis of Oenanthe crocata, or hemlock water-dropwort, a perennial that thrives near Sardinian ponds and rivers, revealed that toxic alcohols in the plant can cause facial muscles to contract, sometimes contorting into a sinister smile. According to ancient reports, the plant was used in pre-Roman Sardinia for the ritual killing of elderly people who were unable to support themselves. A burden to society, the people "were intoxicated with the sardonic herb and then killed by dropping from a high rock or by beating to death," Giovanni Appendino of the University of the Eastern Piedmont, and Mauro Ballero, of Cagliari University in Sardinia, and colleagues wrote in the latest issue of the U.S. Journal of Natural Products. "This is a very subtle plant. It has a sweetish and pleasant taste and smells good. The name Oenanthe means 'wine flower,'" Appendino told Discovery News. "Indeed, the plant produces a state similar to drunkenness as well as locked jaws. There is little doubt that the Herba sardonica described in ancient literature is Oenanthe crocata The poet Homer first used the word 'sardonic' as an adverb when describing Odysseus' smile. The Greek hero "smiled sardonically" as he dodged an ox jaw thrown by one of his wife's former suitors. According to some scholars, Homer coined the word after learning that the Punic people who settled Sardinia gave condemned people the smile-inducing potion. However, the association with Sardinia has often been disputed, and the origin of the term remains obscure, according to Donald Lateiner, who teaches Greek, Latin, ancient history and comparative folklore at Ohio Wesleyan University. "The ancients themselves and the later commentators were entirely unclear about what the word meant," Lateiner, the author of "Sardonic Smile: Nonverbal Behavior in Homeric Epic," told Discovery News. "The newly proposed concept is plausible but not provable. #artforsale (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHotTMrNYr/?igshid=1ov51n507udsr

(Warning:poisonous) Nice to see signs of spring! This is a great time of the year for learning about wild plants, which will be young and succulent for the next few months. Pictured is a plant that you would most certainly not want to eat, Hemlock water dropwort (Oenanthe crocata). Commonly found beside streams and rivers, this poisonous plant is very capable of killing an adult human upon consumption. #plant #plants #wildfood #food #nature #foraging #forage #foraged #bushcraft #survival #wilderness #botany #outdoors #outside #walking #hiking #countryside #wildflowers #natural #wild #cooking #poisonous #coastal #cornwall #forest #falmouth #forager #outdoorsman

Have you ever wondered what the Joker uses in his special toxic blend of compound that puts a smile on his victims' faces? Yes, it's purely fiction, but the writers of Batman may have hit on something that's very real. In ancient times, assassins and murderers have used the hemlock water-dropwort (Oenanthe crocata) plant (above) to incapacitate their victims slowly through the poisonous Botox-like effect of the extract and then do their heinous deed. The result are corpses with a smile on their face - which was already a clue to what was used. The Mediterranean hemlock water-dropwort, common in the island of Sardinia, is similar in appearance to the parsnip plant, which has carrot-like roots and is an edible vegetable. Anyone mistaken the hemlock water-dropwort for the parsnip can be lethally poisoned. Fortunately, the leaves of the hemlock water-dropwort taste terrible. The roots, however, although more pleasant, is no less toxic, and this makes them even more dangerous. The poison is an oenanthotoxin, which is related to the cicutoxin of the water hemlock. Authorities became interested in the hemlock water-dropwort due to a string of smiling-corpse suicides that pointed to its use. The ancient Phoenicians of Sardinia used the toxin in ritual killings of old people and those who broke the law. That's how Homer (of ancient Greece, not of the Simpsons) came up with the term "sardonic grin." Using the toxin is a gruesome way to go with a smile, which only takes three hours.
