Another flower named so because of its appearance is Astra. These charming flowers resemble distant stars with thin rays, and that is why their Latin name Aster in translation means «star». But with cloves, everything is not so obvious. On the one hand, outwardly, this flower is really slightly similar to a nail. On the other hand, many other flowers have this form. As a result, having weighed all the arguments, etymologists came to the conclusion that the matter is not in the form of this plant at all, but in its aroma, which vaguely resembles the smell of the overseas spice of the same name, which is found in almost every kitchen.
