The flower ceremony today has become a familiar attribute of the solemn awarding of the winners of sports championships. But the tradition of presenting bouquets did not appear immediately. Fyodor Evdokimov, chairman of the club of local historians of the Sokolniki district, Fyodor Evdokimov found out that his father Alexander Evdokimov, who had lived in the Eastern Administrative Okrug for many years, stood at the origins of flower honoring in our country.

Bouquets not according to the scenario

- I knew that dad provided the flower awarding group at the Moscow Olympics-80, but I didn’t dive deep into the topic. And recently, from the stories of my mother, I learned that only the great desire and will of the father could reverse the desire of the functionaries to leave the athletes without bouquets. Then I began to look for documentary confirmation of the family legend, - said Fedor Evdokimov.

It was no longer possible to ask the father - he is no longer alive. The old contacts of the organizers of the awards and information from sports historians also did not help the local historian.

The newspaper "Soviet Sport" came to the rescue. In the issue of August 26, 1984, he read that the director of the International Olympic Committee, Madame Monique Berlu, had deleted the presentation of flowers from the Olympian awards script. Winners were entitled to only medals and diplomas. However, after the protocol part, a group of girls nevertheless handed flowers to the winners - unofficially. According to the newspaper, most of the bouquets were provided free of charge by an amateur florist, candidate of technical sciences, head of a department of one of the research institutes under the USSR Ministry of Geology Alexander Evdokimov. But where does a successful scientist get such a craving for floriculture?

Tricks with stamens and pistils

Alexander Fedorovich Evdokimov was born in 1937 in the village of Safronovo near Vyazma. He grew up in a peasant family and loved nature since childhood. After school, he went to Moscow, where he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Petrochemical and Gas Industry. I. M. Gubkin and became a mining engineer.

“Father said that he didn’t go to the Agricultural Academy only because of the low scholarship and the lack of a military department there,” says Evdokimov Jr.

In the capital, he settled on 9th Sokolnicheskaya Street (now 2nd Sokolnicheskaya), where his family still lives. And as soon as the opportunity arose, the family acquired country cottage area in Shcherbinka near Moscow. This is where the engineer's passion was revealed.

- According to my recollections, all 12 acres were occupied by flower beds and greenhouses. Often in our garden one could see gladioli with torn stamens and flowers wrapped in plastic bags. The father applied these tricks so that there was no accidental pollination, and one variety was pollinated strictly by another variety. So he developed new varieties.

The names were given by the winners

The Olympics was the first competition to which Evdokimov, a flower grower, brought bouquets. Almost all major events followed. sports life- Goodwill Games, the Festival of Youth and Students in 1985, etc. Plants grown by him won more than a hundred awards at all-Union flower exhibitions, personal exhibitions were held in Moscow.

In total, from 1975 to 1989, he bred 498 varieties of gladioli! Many of them have received names associated with Moscow and sports: White Stone Moscow, XXII Olympics, Spartak, Big Arena, World Cup, Irina Rodnina, etc.

- When I was 10 years old, at one tournament my father sent me to find out from the winners what name to give to new varieties. This was one of the unofficial gifts to athletes - the right to name a flower. I pestered the winners with a pen and paper until the security service appeared: “There is nothing for children to collect autographs here,” recalls Fedor Evdokimov.

By the way, as a student, the future breeder often worked in construction teams. According to his son, one of the slabs of the Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena has a bituminous painting by Alexander Evdokimov on its reverse side.

Translated from the Latin "gladiolus" - "sword", since ancient rome There is a legend about how gladiolus flowers appeared. There was a war between the Romans and the Thracians. The victory went to the Romans. The Roman commander turned the captured Thracian warriors into gladiators.

Two young captives in one duel were forced to fight against each other. Friends refused to fight and then they were put to death. But as soon as the bodies of the defeated touched the ground, tall beautiful flowers bloomed from the hilts of their swords.

In honor of the noble gladiators, they were called gladioli. And until now they are a symbol of fidelity, nobility, memory. Gladiolus is one of the best cut flowers. They attract with a richness of colors, a variety of shapes. Their genus includes about 180 species. Gladiolus is a perennial, non-wintering herbaceous bulbous plant.

Growing gladioli

Provided that it is hot outside, it is advisable to water it every day, but at the same time the earth must be kept loose.

Gladiolus requires self-care.

After the shoots grow 10 centimeters from the ground, the bed should be mulched with a layer of humus.

The bed is watered abundantly once a week in the morning or in the evening, when there is no heat. When if the weather is hot, it is better to water every 3-4 days.

When buds appear, flower stalks can be tied to a support, and dried flowers should also be pinched off so that the plant does not waste energy on them.

The soil for the entire summer period should also be weeded 3-4 times.

Clean the bed of weeds, because the more weeds, the more likely it is to pick up some kind of disease for the plant.

Cut gladioli with a sharp knife, the rest of the peduncle should be hidden by the remaining leaves, which should remain at least 3-4x. They provide further growth.

Dig up gladioli should be in September, 35-45 days after flowering.

Dig only in dry weather, the stems and roots of the plant are cut off, the earth is shaken off, the children are separated from the mother bulb (it is easily separated), the bulbs are placed in a sieve and washed under warm running water. After washing, the bulbs should be disinfected with a 1% solution of funazol, immersed in it for 20-30 minutes. After the solution, it is necessary to rinse the bulbs again with water, after which they are treated with a 3% solution of potassium permanganate, and the bulbs are laid out to dry for 3 days. After 3 days, the bulbs should be transferred to boxes with paper on the bottom and stored at a temperature of 25-30 degrees.

After 2 weeks, the temperature is reduced to 18-22 degrees, and after a little more than a month, the corms are cleaned and sorted.

Corms are stored indoors in winter at a temperature not exceeding 10 degrees, and a humidity of 60-70%.

You can put a couple of cloves of garlic in the box, changing them with new ones over time. This way you save the bulbs until the next planting.

Many gardeners who are engaged in planting flowers believe that such an activity as growing gladioli is too hard work and takes a lot of time.

But it's not! Read our material and you will understand it is not at all difficult, the main desire! Very important point when planting gladioli is precisely proper fit and caring for them.

How to plant gladiolus? The most important point when planting gladioli is the right place for planting. Gladiolus will not fit those areas where there is little light and there are strong winds. Also, those areas in the garden where there is too close occurrence are not suitable. ground water, any irregularities, slopes or slopes. The place for planting gladioli should be flat (a slight slope to the south is allowed) and with good drainage.

Chernozems, light sandy or loamy soils are best suited for planting gladioli. It is best to prepare a site for planting gladioli in the fall - dig the soil to a depth of 30-40 cm. Pre-sowing spring digging of the soil will only improve its condition and get rid of excess moisture. In order to grow beautiful and high-quality gladiolus flowers, it is necessary to apply fertilizers - humus, manure, compost, TMAU, bird droppings, peat compost. Calculation for 1m2 - 3-5 kg of manure or humus, 8-10 kg of compost, 2 kg of TMAU, 0.3-0.5 kg of bird droppings. In spring, it is recommended to apply phosphorus fertilizer (superphosphate) 50 - 70 g/m2.

To get the right planting time, you first need to review your planting material: small corms or buds can be planted early to extend the growing season and allow the bulbs to gain weight well, which ultimately contributes to good planting material for the next year.

Large bulbs are planted at a depth of 8-12 cm from the bottom, if light soils are up to 15 cm, heavy and moist soils are 6-10 cm. Between plants in the same row they are planted with a distance of 15-20 cm, and between rows - 30 cm

On average, gladiolus bulbs are planted from April to mid-May.

Landing of gladioli should be carried out in dried and well-warmed up to +10 ° C ground.

It is also very important to choose the right bulbs so that gladioli grow in the garden that match the photo. Even if the bulb is large, this does not mean that you will get a huge flower.

Old corms are replaced annually by a new bulb, around which babies are formed. And every year such a bulb becomes more and more flat, reproductive qualities decrease, therefore it is not advisable to purchase large bulbs so as not to stumble upon defective material that will give small and ugly flowers. Replacement bulbs produce a crop of 3-4 years, after which the bulbs are destroyed.

In order not to lose the variety, it is recommended to grow planting material from children. In the 1st year of growing gladiolus, when the first bud appears, the peduncle is removed so that the plant grows the bulb well and does not waste energy on the formation of the fetus, but everything at once nutrients entered the bulb. The same thing happens when cutting into a bouquet.

After selecting the corms, they must be treated in a 0.5% solution of potassium permanganate, dried and stored until planting. Before planting gladioli, the bulbs are cleaned of scales, the tuber-buds must be soaked in a 0.5% manganese solution for 10-12 hours, which will disinfect and serve as a good growth stimulator.

After processing, the babies and bulbs are immediately planted in a permanent place. Very often at early varieties there is an early exit to growth, but do not worry! In order to slow down the growth, it is necessary to move the bulbs to a cool place with a temperature of +1 ° C or plant the bulbs in peat pots in a cool, bright room, where they are before planting in the ground. When planting time comes, you can plant directly in pots to prevent damage to the root system.

Since the gladiolus is a delicate flower and does not tolerate transplants, be careful and attentive.

The first and most important rule for caring for gladioli is timely watering. A lot of water is especially required during the formation of the peduncle (phase 3 - 4 true leaves) and during flowering - about 10 - 15 liters / m2. Also, watering should be carried out taking into account the amount of moisture contained in the soil. After watering, the plants spud and loosen the soil.

It is also important to feed the plants.

Nitrogen fertilizers 20-30 g/m2 are added to top dressing 3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks after planting. If areas rich in nitrogen are noted, the rate of nitrogen fertilizers can be reduced by 2 times.

In the 1st dressing, you can use an infusion of chicken manure (1:20) or mullein (1:10). In the 2nd top dressing, in addition to nitrogen, potash and phosphate fertilizers are applied (10 g of potassium sulfate, 25 g of superphosphate per 1 sq. m). The third top dressing is carried out at the beginning of budding (10-15 g of potassium sulfate, 25-30 g of superphosphate per 1 sq. m).

Before and after feeding, the plants must be watered.

A good technique for gladioli is the introduction of additional extra root dressings - the leaves are sprayed with a solution of mineral micronutrient fertilizers. Good results were shown by feeding with solutions of boric acid (0.6 g per 1 liter of water), potassium permanganate (0.15 g per 1 liter of water).

Timely weeding, soil mulched with peat or humus (3-5 cm layer) - all this will help retain moisture and provide the necessary aeration, and will also delay the growth of weeds. When the height of the gladiolus reaches an impressive size (and also to prevent tilting and damage to the flower), it is necessary to tie the gladioluses to pegs or to a wire that can be pulled along the rows.

If it is not possible to tie up, you can spud the gladiolus to a height of 10 cm.

When cutting gladioli, leave at least four true leaves. This will allow the corms to develop normally.

Gladiolus, like any plant, is susceptible to various diseases, therefore, in gladioli plantations, it is necessary to frequently and regularly inspect, identify diseased plants and remove them.

Another method of care is the prevention of gladioli during cultivation, it is necessary to treat it several times with solutions that prevent the occurrence of diseases.

By observing the results of seedlings, keeping plantings clean from weeds, taking timely measures to combat diseases and pests, you can become the owner of the most beautiful collection of gladioli and enjoy beautiful flowering all summer long!

Gladiolus - very luxurious flowers, unusual beauty. They look very good on any alpine hill, in the garden, as a fence for the house, and very inventive, they find other uses for these flowers.
