Summary/Abstract: In the descriptions of nature dominates two semantic categories of the flora’s descriptions. The first one involves forests and the second: gardens and meadows. The most frequently used colours in the linguistic creation of the world of flora are: „green”, „yellow”, „gold” and „red”. The less frequently are: „white”, „purple” and „blue”. In the presented world the descriptions of the flora have a poetic value since they gather realistic picture of the nature expressed with the use of the poetic language. The indicated workings of the flora’s world description in „Dolina Issy” prove the impressive technique of Czesław Miłosz.
