🌿 A unique experience in nature! 🌿
Last Sunday, we walked through the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne.
During the walk, Daniel Ohlsen – the Gardens’ botanist – shared something truly fascinating:
scientists use the Ancient Greek language to name plants! 🌱
Hearing words with Greek roots used to describe such unique plant species, you can’t help but feel proud!!!
📸 A walk that offered not only beauty, but plenty of knowledge too.

🌿 Μια ξεχωριστή εμπειρία στη φύση! 🌿
Την περασμένη Κυριακή περπατήσαμε στους υπέροχους Royal Botanic Gardens της Μελβούρνης.
Κατά τη διάρκεια της διαδρομής, ο Daniel Ohlsen – ο βοτανολόγος των Κήπων – μας αποκάλυψε πως οι επιστήμονες χρησιμοποιούν την αρχαία ελληνική γλώσσα για να ονομάζουν τα φυτά! 🌱
Ακούγοντας λέξεις με ελληνικές ρίζες να περιγράφουν μοναδικά φυτικά είδη, δεν μπορείς παρά να νιώσεις περήφανος!!!
📸 Ένας περίπατος που συνδύαζε όχι μόνο ομορφιά αλλα και μπόλικη γνώση.
