Heliades.

Heliades (Ἡλιάδες), or Phaethontides (Φαεθοντίδες) were the daughters of Helios and Clymene.

In Greek myths and legends there were seven Heliades: Merope, Aegle, Lampetia, Phoebe, Aetherie, and Dioxippe. Also, they had a brother named Phaёthon (Φαέθων) (Phaéthōn).

He died when Phaёthon drove his father Helios's chariot across the sky.

The Heliades mourned their brother Phaёthon. Later, they turned into poplar trees, and their tears amber.

Tales from childhood: Mrs. Anne and her garden.

Mrs. Anne had her own house on the outskirts of the city. She herself built this house many years ago when Mrs. Anne was young. Also, there were many different threes and flowers.

The old woman attached special importance to flowers. She loved all flowers in her garden. Mrs. Anne valued beauty of these plants.

In the yard where Sophie lived, there was a garden with flowers, too. But there sometimes little children plucked flowers that weren't yet blooming, and some of Mrs. Anne's elderly friends didn't like it.

"Don't drop those sprouts! Then it would grow beautifully." so often said old men and women.

"These people know that flowers take a long time to grow and that it takes patience." Sophie's mother said.
