For whatever reason, this flower is called Skin Head Flower in Bulgaria. It lives in altitudes above 1500 meters.


Took a photo of this beautiful daisy-like shrub today so I can identify it later.
Turns out, it’s a traditional remedy for headaches and migraine (source), although the statistically significant impact is questionable.

Woodland forget-me-not. Photo taken far from any forests.
I love these little flowers.

Okay, this is a pretty little flower, but how is it called in Bulgarian?


According to ChatGPT, this is синчец, a blue flower, called literally blue in Bulgarian. According to Google’s AI, it’s смърчова звъника, a made-up subspecies of звъника, a well-known herb that I’ve collected for tea in some other centuries. When I searched again to confirm the screenshot, it suddenly turned out to be мъхова звъника, another made-up plant.

A pro tip would be that adding -ai to a Google search turns off the hallucinating AI search result and you can actually see the multiple results from meaningful websites, built with love, that know the answer.
