Kytice (Czech for Bouquet; original full title was Kytice z pověstí národních - A Bouquet of National Legends) is a collection of ballads by the Czech author Karel Jaromír Erben, first published in 1853 and considered a classic. It is made up of 13 poems:
- Kytice
- Poklad (Treasure)
- Svatební košile (The Wedding Shirts)
- Polednice (Lady midday)
- Zlatý kolovrat (The Golden Spinning-Wheel)
- Štědrý den (Christmas Eve); made into a melodrama by Zdeněk Fibich
- Holoubek (Little Dove)
- Záhořovo lože (Záhoř's Bed)
- Vodník (The Water-Goblin)
- Vrba (Willow)
- Lilie (Lily), added in the 1861 second edition
- Dceřina kletba (Daughter's Curse)
- Věštkyně (Seeress)
Kytice was a 1972 loose adaptation to a theatre musical by Jiří Suchý and Ferdinand Havlík (music), one of the most popular pieces in the history of his Semafor theatre.
Kytice (international title Wild Flowers) is also a 2000 Czech film directed by F. A. Brabec based on 7 best-known, most epic and least explicitly Christian of the poems; while relatively successful commercially, it was deplored by critics for its crude literalism of depiction.
