Il fiore di zucca o fiore di zucchino (chiamato anche fiorillo), dal colore giallo-arancione, è molto utilizzato in campo culinario; per questo vengono utilizzati prevalentemente i fiori maschili quelli che hanno il gambo, chiamato peduncolo, sottile e che sono destinati, dopo l’impollinazione a seccare. Vengono pertanto colti quando sono ancora turgidi e usati generalmente fritti. Volendo usare i fiori femminili, ma già di maschili ve ne sono a sufficienza, si devono recidere con delicatezza, senza danneggiare l’ovario cui sono portati ove non danneggiarlo e così perderlo.

Passiflora L. is a genus of plants in the Passifloraceae family that includes about 465 species of perennial and annual herbaceous plants, shrubs with a climbing and liana habit, shrubs and small trees, up to 5–6 m tall, native to Central and South America, with some species from North America, Australia and Asia. The name of the genus, adopted by Linnaeus in 1753 and meaning “passion flower” (from the Latin passio = passion and flos = flower), was given to it by the Jesuit missionaries in 1610, due to the similarity of some parts of the plant with the religious symbols of the Passion of Christ: the tendrils to the whip with which he was flagellated, the three styles to the nails, the stamens to the hammer, the corolla rays to the crown of thorns.

A beautiful butterfly with the Bay of Silence in the background. This morning, today is May 26, 2018, as usual I popped into the Bay of Silence (Portobello) to enjoy a few minutes of sun. While I was on the Cappuccini climb, looking for the best spot to immortalize the beach, today really full of bathers (it seems the summer heat has finally arrived), I happened to see a beautiful butterfly land on these flowers. And it even stayed still for several seconds!
