En una palangana vieja sembr茅 flores para ti..., as铆 dice la canci贸n Lo feo, de Teresita Fern谩ndez, cantada por muchos interpretes.
Record茅 esta canci贸n cuando vi estos treboles verdes y violetas que ha sembrado mi madre en vasijas viejas.
La verde es hermosa, es una peque帽a planta, reconocible por sus tallos rastreros y tres hojas de un verde brillante, cada una en forma de coraz贸n con una tenue marca p谩lida. Cre铆 que en s铆 esta era la flor, por su dise帽o peculiar.
En el mundo de las plantas, cada una tiene su misi贸n o utilidad, unas m谩s que otras, pero cada una con su importancia
El trebol es una leguminosa que enriquece el suelo fijando nitr贸geno a trav茅s de sus ra铆ces. Su propiedad m谩s c茅lebre es la simb贸lica, desde los celtas, sus tres hojas han representado la unidad y el equilibrio de los elementos naturales, la representaci贸n perfecta de tierra, mar y cielo.
Es el emblema de Irlanda y un amuleto universal de buena fortuna, donde encontrar uno espont谩neamente se considera un presagio positivo.
Me llam贸 la atenci贸n por sus flores, no cre铆 que volvieran a crecer luego que el gallo y la gallina se comieron hasta las ra铆ces. Han sido regalos de mi hermana y en esta humedad crecen de maravillas.
El tr茅bol de tres hojas, es m谩s conocido es el verde intenso, sin embargo el violeta es igual de hermoso.
La variante morada, se dice que es un falso tr茅bol, porque comparte la forma trifoliada pero despliega tonos p煤rpura, burdeos o viol谩ceo, con un env茅s a veces m谩s claro. Esta coloraci贸n, adem谩s de su valor ornamental, parece protegerla de la intensa luz solar. Sus propiedades se asocian m谩s a la esfera espiritual y m铆stica.
El morado, color tradicional de la realeza y la magia, infunde a este tr茅bol un aura de sabidur铆a, transformaci贸n y conexi贸n con lo divino. Se le atribuyen propiedades calmantes y se dice que atrae la energ铆a positiva y la creatividad. Ambas versiones, en su triada de hojas, encarnan la armon铆a y la perfecta unidad.
Y no s茅 si es porque no se nos ocurrir铆a sembrar en vasijas nuevas pero las vasijas viejas son como un hogar m谩gico. Recuerdo el jazm铆n del cabo que ten铆a mi madre entre los mantos, una flor con hojas debajo de un vaso de vidrio partido y ah铆 crec铆a la m谩s hermosa y olorosa de las flores cubanas.
El trebol viene siendo motivo de sus cuidados y frutos de sus manos generosas, y ellos agradecen luciendo as铆 de espectacular en medio de lo feo.
Te regalo la canci贸n ...

In an old washbasin...
In an old washbasin, I planted flowers for you... so goes the song Lo feo (The Ugly), by Teresita Fern谩ndez, sung by many performers.
I remembered this song when I saw these green and violet clovers that my mother has planted in old pots.
The green one is beautiful, a small plant, recognizable by its creeping stems and three bright green leaves, each heart-shaped with a faint pale mark. I thought this was the flower itself, due to its peculiar design.
In the plant world, each one has its mission or use, some more than others, but each with its own importance.
Clover is a legume that enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen through its roots. Its most celebrated property is symbolic; since the Celts, its three leaves have represented the unity and balance of the natural elements, the perfect representation of earth, sea, and sky.
It is the emblem of Ireland and a universal good luck charm, where finding one spontaneously is considered a positive omen.
They caught my attention because of their flowers; I didn't think they would grow back after the rooster and hen ate them down to the roots. They were gifts from my sister, and in this humidity, they grow wonderfully.
The three-leaf clover, the most well-known, is an intense green; however, the violet one is just as beautiful.
The purple variant is said to be a false clover because it shares the trifoliate shape but displays purple, burgundy, or violet tones, with a sometimes lighter underside. This coloration, besides its ornamental value, seems to protect it from intense sunlight. Its properties are more associated with the spiritual and mystical sphere.
Purple, the traditional color of royalty and magic, infuses this clover with an aura of wisdom, transformation, and connection with the divine. It is attributed calming properties and is said to attract positive energy and creativity. Both versions, in their triad of leaves, embody harmony and perfect unity.
And I don't know if it's because we wouldn't think to plant in new pots, but old pots are like a magical home. I remember the cape jasmine my mother had among the sheets, a flower with leaves under a broken glass, and there grew the most beautiful and fragrant of Cuban flowers.
The clover has become the focus of her care and the fruit of her generous hands, and they show their gratitude by looking this spectacular amidst the ugly.
I give you the song...
