The flora on Poven has not been sufficiently researched and it is estimated that there are about 1000 species of plants. Every year, the meadows are dotted with various plants from spring to autumn. After the winter and its black-and-white phase, the grass breaks through the snow and paints the fields green, and reddish meadow saffron sprouts together with spring flowers such as blagay daphn, the most fragrant flower of the mountain. After that red phase, yellow begins, colored mostly with Saint Ivan’s Day grass, from which the villagers make wreaths and decorate their huts. The most playful colorful phase begins with the summer, and lasts until the beginning of August, when rich meadows are mowed and hay is baled. Here grows narcissus, cowslip, heather, saffron, yellow forest lily, great yellow gentian, Bosnian and Adriatic iris. The fruits of wild strawberries, wild raspberries, blackberries and the most important blueberries, rich in vitamins, iron and tannin, are scattered on the mountain. Blueberry grows as a shrub in the area of Povlen, but it is mostly found in beech forests. Povlen adorns plants of various uses for humans. Some are decorative, some are food and medicine, and some are poisonous. Medicinal herbs that can be found in Povlen are wild garlic, woodruff, asarabacca, yarrow, ground elder, common lady's mantle, agrimony, daisy, shepherd's purse, bellflowers, chicory, leather flower, brown knapweed, carrot, foxgloves, wood spurge, spurges, horsetail, meadowsweets, ground-ivy, hedge bedstraw, lady's bedstraw, common stork's-bill, perforate St John's-wort, horse-heal, field scabiou, oxeye daisy, pennyroyal, lucerne, black medic, oregano, spiny restharrow, broadleaf plantain, creeping cinquefoil, hoary plantain, tormentil, masterwort, buttercups, redvein dock, dog rose, salad burnet, chickweed, mustards,  hedgenettles, dandelion, wall germander, breckland thyme, red clover, nettle, wild pansy, milk thistle, sweet violet and violet.

The whole plant and fruit stink unpleasantly, especially in the summer around noon when the it is hot. The ancient philosopher Socrates was sentenced to death by drinking the poison of hemlock. He drank a goblet full of poison easily and without bitterness, and asked those present not to cry and be silent, so that he could "die in pious silence."
