Lovely purple flowers. So many flowers in a small bush.
(Fairy fan flower) It sounds better than the scientific name. Fairies are protectors of nature, that's what they say. Maybe they protect this plant and its beautiful flowers and therefore you who approach them.
I do hope i get protected by the fairies if i ever need them. We don't have fairies in Norwegian folklore but we do have small people who are called nisser who help people, but hey can also be quite mischievous and break your stuff and even leave your house and take its good fortune with it if it feels insulted.
My great grandmother told me before she passed away that when she was young and living on a farm that one day she heard a child's voice yell out that there was a fire in the barn, and when she went outside to look she saw the red pointy hat of a nisse run across the snow to the barn. Like the nisse had yelled the barn was indeed on fire and because of it's warning my great grandmother was able to quickly put out the fire before it spread and saved the animals.
So for the rest of her life she would once a year leave a bowl of porridge outside for the nisse who warned her about the fire and saved the farm.
You can read more about them on Wikipedia if you want to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisse_(folklore)
It's really very beautiful flowers..
