Bogatstvo divljeg cvijeća Hvara

Objavljeno u Okoliš

Divljem cvijeću na Hvaru moguće se veseliti cijele godine. Čak tijekom najgore zime, teško da može proći tjedan, a da plamteće boje ne osvijetle ruralni dio otoka, što je u kontrastu s kamenitim i tamno zelenim, šumovitim dijelom otoka.

Bogatstvo divljeg cvijeća Hvara

Kad ne cvjeta, divlje bilje odumire ili se stapa s pozadinom te ponovno oživljava da označi godišnja doba s vlastitim raznobojnim doprinosom. Zadovoljstvo hodanja po poljima i šumama dok gledate širok spektar bilja koji doprinosi prirodnom veličanstvu otoka je bezgranično. Raznovrsni oblici biljaka čine dio privlačnosti otoka i svako godišnje doba ima nekoliko zanimljivih primjeraka. Sljedeća dva primjera su dio proljetne ponude.

Divlji zumbul

Tijekom proljeća, od travnja do lipnja, divlji zumbuli se pojave s vrlo lijepim ljubičastim glavama.
 
 
Divlji zumbul (leopoldia comosa ili muscari comosum) jedna je vrsta poznata kao dlakava presličica ili jestiva presličica. Ima plodne cvjetove koji su smeđe-zeleni, zvonoliki i stoje na stabljikama koje su otprilike podjednake dužine kao i cvjetovi ili malo duže. Na vrhu biljke, čuperak jarko ljubičastih sterilnih cvjetova na dugačkim stabljikama širi se u visinu. Pripada obitelji asteraceae u redu asparagala.
 

Kao što jedan od sinonima i sugerira, divlji zumbul je jestiv i koristi se u prehrani uglavnom u Italiji i Grčkoj. U Italiji, lukovice divljeg zumbula zovu se lampascioni ili cipolline selvatiche (male divlje kapule), u Grčkoj volvoi. Još uvijek nisam upoznala nikog u Dalmaciji tko ih jede, vjerojatno zato što su gorkog okusa, a većina Dalmatinaca je, čini se, danas ovisna o šećeru. Lukovice se kuhaju te se čuvaju ili u ulju ili ukiseljene. Uzimaju se kao stimulatori apetita ili diuretici. U Grčkoj su tradicionalno dio vegetarijanskih specijaliteta tijekom posta. Recepti za pripremu mi se čine kompliciranima pa ću se, za sad, zadovoljiti jednostavnim divljenjem predivnom cvijeću kad se pojavi po poljima tijekom proljeća.

Turovac

Godinama me fascinirala fina, okrugla, pernata glavica koja bi se naglo proširila po ruralnim krajevima u proljeće. Otkrivanje što ona točno jest bilo je izazovno. Ljudi su mi govorili da je vrsta maslačka, ali taj zaključak nije se činio ispravnim. Nikad nisam vidjela tu biljku u cvatu. Ono što sam vidjela izgledalo je kao stabljika s mršavim vretenima (što se može vidjeti frontalno s lijeva na slici ispod) koji su se otvarali da formiraju veličanstvenu sferu glavice.
 

Pomirila sam se da nikad neću saznati. Naposljetku, na njezinu ljepotu nije utjecalo moje neznanje. S obzirom na to da ionako loše pamtim imena, možda se i nije isplatilo tražiti. Onda sam slučajno posjetila atelje Marinke Radež u Dolu i vidjela sliku biljke u nastajanju. I to ne samo biljke koja me oduševljavala godinama, već je na njoj bio i cvijet koji mi nije bio poznat. Ispostavilo se da se cvijet javlja samo nakratko tijekom dana. Ili nisam prepoznala da je dio iste biljke ili ga nikad nisam vidjela. Marinka nije znala kako se biljka zove, ali sam imala dovoljno tragova da suzim izbor te sam ga konačno našla na odličnoj web-stranici koja se zove theseedsite.

Tako sam identificirala misterioznu vretenastu sferu kao turovac. Definitivno ne maslačak (taraxacum) iako oboje pripadaju redu asterales i obitelji asteraceae. Jedan član vrste, koji se sastoji od 140 različitih tipova, ljubičasti turovac je jestiv, uglavnom u korijenu te navodno ima okus školjaka te mladice i lišća.

  • Nigel Farage’s farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double

    Exclusive: critics warn Reform UK use of trade policy would increase food costs amid cost-of-living crisis

    Nigel Farage’s farming adviser has called for a doubling of wheat prices by using trade policy, which critics have said would hike food costs during a cost-of-living crisis.

    Arable farmer and campaigner Clive Bailye has been appointed as a farming and land use adviser for Reform UK. Bailye owns the website The Farming Forum, a social network for farmers, and helped organise the large-scale protestsagainst the Labour government’s introduction of inheritance tax for farmed land.

  • ‘Visible from space’: why Spain has the world’s biggest concentration of greenhouses

    Andalusia houses ‘Europe’s vegetable garden’ – a laboratory of development and innovation producing vegetables for all of Europe

    Europe’s vegetable garden is in Andalusia, southern Spain. It is so vast that it can even be seen from space: if you open Google Maps and look west of Almería, you will see a white patch that looks like a glacier, but as you zoom in, you realise it is the highest concentration of greenhouses in the world. More than 30,000 hectares (74,131 acres) of land are covered in plastic, a geometric labyrinth five times the size of Manhattan, where 3.5m tons of vegetables are produced every year – from tomatoes to cucumbers, peppers to courgettes, aubergines to melons – enough to feed half a billion people and generate a turnover of more than 3bn euros.

    Workers prepare peppers inside the Hortamar cooperative, a fruit and vegetable producers’ organisation in Roquetas de Mar, founded in 1977, that now has more than 240 members and sells throughout Europe, the US and Canada.

  • ‘The start of the healing process’: the vital work to restore Britain’s peatlands

    A project on Dartmoor to reprofile the landscape aims to return the springy bog – and carbon store – to its natural condition

    At one of the most remote spots in southern England, Al West skilfully tilts and rotates the bucket of a small digger, like a giant mechanical hand. He lifts turf, and pats it down gently on to the rich, dark brown peat beneath. Above him, the granite stack of Fur Tor looms above the vast, boggy, wild expanse of northern Dartmoor.

    It is repetitive, delicate work, which West carries out with dexterity and care. Within a boundary of white flags, he takes from a borrow pit and fashions a peat embankment across each ditch and depression covering the land, to restore it to its natural smoothness and to stop the rainwater running off down the valley.

  • Young country diary: A weary wheatear shows off his best feature | Henry

    Dartmoor, Devon: This one is an early-arriver after spending winter in sub-Saharan Africa, and it’s keen to show off its ‘white arse’

    The first signs of spring shine through the shadow of Haytor Rocks, a granite guard of Dartmoor’s natural secrets. The sun’s heat warms the granite, the first bumblebees thrum over the gorse. After months of mizzly rain, it was freeing to be out on the moor again. The trees were awakening, early emergers blackthorn and willow, stalwarts of Emsworthy Mire – an old friend.

    With binoculars pressed tight to my eyes, I scan the valley, searching for any sign of returning migrants. Mid-March is too early for some, but the more proactive species love to start the season early. A raven cronks overhead, a sound as welcoming as it is unnerving.

  • Scientists film whale giving birth while other whales work together to help her

    Female named Rounder surrounded by family members when about to give birth to her second calf

    Scientists have managed to film a sperm whale giving birth while other female whales worked together to support the mother and her newborn.

    A team from Project Ceti, an international effort seeking to understand how whales communicate, was in a boat near a pod of 11 whales off the coast of the Caribbean island of Dominica on 8 July 2023.

  • Beavers ‘breathe new life’ into Dorset as dams built and biodiversity returns

    National Trust says one year after reintroduction they are enriching habitats and may be having kits this summer

    They were released this time last year with fanfare, much hope and also, perhaps, a little trepidation.

    Twelve months on, there have been ups and downs for the first beavers to be (officially) reintroduced into the wild in England since the semiaquatic mammals were hunted to extinction 400 years ago.

  • ‘It helped me feed my six children’: how Africa’s first water fund supports farmers to protect Kenya’s biggest river

    Conserving the watershed of the Tana and improving farming methods is securing water supplies and livelihoods alike in a changing climate

    When in 2017 David Nyoro became one of the first farmers to partner with Africa’s first water fund to conserve the watershed of Kenya’s biggest river, he received 180 high-value avocado seedlings. The 67-year-old’s farming methods had been dominated by annual crops that left large sections of his five-acre piece of land bare, increasing soil erosion and contributing to river sedimentation. “We used to lose a lot of topsoil to the river. Such loss of soil nutrients and poor farming practices meant we had less farm produce,” he says.

    The avocado seedlings enabled him to grow his farm income to close to 2m Kenyan shillings (about £11,500 at today’s exchange rates), with each mature avocado tree yielding 70kg (154lbs) annually. He introduced cover crops to improve soil health and reduce soil erosion and sediment loads.

  • ‘Lots of people still don’t have roofs’: Jamaicans living in hardship after Hurricane Melissa

    Many say they have not received support to rebuild their homes months after the storm caused unprecedented destruction

    “Before Hurricane Melissa I could have navigated life, figured things out. But since its passage, everything has just been turned upside down,” said Kerry-Ann Vickers.

    Vickers was three months pregnant when Hurricane Melissa demolished parts of her home in the coastal town of Black River, in St Elizabeth, west Jamaica, last October. Nearly six months on, Vickers, 25, is still struggling to get support to rebuild her house and is distraught that her baby will arrive in a home without a secure roof.

  • ‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis

    Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing

    Death-defying thrills are not what draws Lutz Leif Linden to zip down the Autobahn faster than a plane taking off. Instead, the feeling of freedom and an appreciation of technological mastery play a part in his “almost loving relationship” with driving cars faster than most people can imagine.

    The top speed he has reached on the road in Germany, the world’s only democracy without a blanket speed limit on motorways, is 400km/h (249mph). “It’s like an airplane,” said Linden, the president of the Automobile Club of Germany (AvD). “You are faster than an Airbus at start.”

  • Is foraging really feasible to feed myself?

    This labor-intensive way of eating isn’t for everyone – and I’m not sure it’s for me. It requires planning and flexibility

    When I called Robin Greenfield, an environmental activist and author, his assistant answered. “We’re stopped really quick,” Marielle said, adding “he is harvesting a ton of wild onions right now. He’ll be on in just a minute.”

    I waited, curious to see his haul and bemused by his willingness to delay an interview for wild vegetables. I had called Greenfield, who wrote Food Freedom about the year he grew and foraged 100% of his food, to talk about how possible, or hard, it is to do just that.
