Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a proposal to synthesise the floral motifs in Krystyna Miłobędzka's poetry. An analysis of such verses and themes leads to forming a conclusion that the speaking subject employs these motifs to express the need to stick to the inhuman sphere, but also the belief into the power and immortality of plants. The balance between weak/invincible grass and power/changeability of a tree forms in the poems a poetics of relation with the plant element. The biophilia, which is inscribed into Miłobędzka's pieces, also shows the aporias that lay at the foundation of her identity construction.
