반갑다 원추리꽃

in AVLE 일상8 hours ago


수줍은 새악씨같은 원추리꽃이
산책객의 눈길을 한몸에 받으며
가냘픈 몸매 흔들며 답례를 한다.

이파리가 무성하여 꽃대가 올라온것 도
모르고 지났더니 일제히 고개들어
나 여기 있어요
예쁜 모습 자랑 한다.

원추리 입사귀는 나물로 먹고 꽃과 뿌리도
식용 식물이라 버릴것 하나 없는 식물로
옛날 에는 구황 식물로 아끼던 식물이다.
요사이 먹어보니 예전맛을 찾기 어려웠다.

@veronicalee, what a beautifully observed and evocative post! The image of the daylilies ("원추리꽃") swaying shyly, greeting passersby, is so charming. Your words paint such a vivid picture, and I especially appreciate the connection you draw between their delicate beauty and their historical significance as a vital food source. It's fascinating to learn that the leaves, flowers, and roots are all edible. I'm intrigued that the taste isn't the same as you remember – has the cultivation changed, perhaps? Thank you for sharing this lovely piece of nature and a bit of Korean history! I would love to know more about how they were prepared as a famine food.
