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.

  • Cyclones, floods and wildfires among 2025’s costliest climate-related disasters

    Christian Aid annual report’s top 10 disasters amounted to more than $120bn in insured losses

    Cyclones and floods in south-east Asia this autumn killed more than 1,750 people and caused more than $25bn (£19bn) in damage, while the death toll from California wildfires topped 400 people, with $60bn in damage, according to research on the costliest climate-related disasters of the year.

    China’s devastating floods, in which thousands of people were displaced, were the third most expensive, causing about $12bn in damage, with at least 30 lives lost.

  • ‘Ghost resorts’: as hundreds of ski slopes lie abandoned, will nature reclaim the Alps?

    With the snow line edging higher, 186 French ski resorts have shut, while global heating threatens dozens more

    When Céüze 2000 ski resort closed at the end of the season in 2018, the workers assumed they would be back the following winter. Maps of the pistes were left stacked beside a stapler; the staff rota pinned to the wall.

    Six years on, a yellowing newspaper dated 8 March 2018 sits folded on its side, as if someone has just flicked through it during a quiet spell. A half-drunk bottle of water remains on the table.

  • ‘It brings you closer to the natural world’: the rise of the Merlin birdsong identifying app

    Merlin has been trained to identify the songs of more than 1,300 bird species around the world

    When Natasha Walter first became curious about the birds around her, she recorded their songs on her phone and arduously tried to match each song with online recordings. After a friend recommended Merlin Bird ID, a free app, she tried it in her London garden and was delighted to discover the birds she assumed were female blackbirds – “this is how bad a birder I was” – were actually song thrushes and mistle thrushes.

    “I’m obsessed with Merlin – it’s wonderful and it’s been a joy to me,” says Walter, a writer and human rights activist. “This is what AI and machine-learning have been invented for. It’s the one good thing!”

  • A conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson summed up 2025 for me – and not in a good way | George Monbiot

    From merrily dismissing climate science, to promoting irresponsible health claims, the podcast was an unintentional warning for our times

    Looking back on this crazy year, one event, right at the start, seems to me to encapsulate the whole. In January, recording his podcast in a studio in Austin, Texas, the host, Joe Rogan, and the actor Mel Gibson merrily dissed climate science. At the same time, about 1,200 miles away in California, Gibson’s $14m home was being incinerated in the Palisades wildfire. In this and other respects, their discussion could be seen as prefiguring the entire 12 months.

    The loss of his house hadn’t been confirmed at the time of the interview, but Gibson said his son had just sent him “a video of my neighbourhood, and it’s in flames. It looks like an inferno.” According to World Weather Attribution, January’s fires in California were made significantly more likely by climate breakdown. Factors such as the extreme lack of rainfall and stronger winds made such fires both more likely to happen and more intense than they would have been without human-caused global heating.

  • Young country diary: Other kids love birds and insects – I love moss | Arjun

    Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire: I couldn’t believe how much moss there was covering the rocks, the trees, the ground – everything

    Living in a city, I don’t have much contact with nature, but when I do, I always savour it. Most people go to the woods in search of flowers, birds, insects or fungi, but I was looking for moss. Why moss? What is so special about this irksome plant you find hidden in plain sight?

    The Forest of Dean could be synonymous with moss. When I went, I was immediately struck by the amount there was. It was covering rocks, trees, the ground – everything! Everywhere was camouflaged by this blanket of green. It was like looking through emerald glasses. I ran my hand over a patch of moss; it was soft and velvety like a puppy’s fur.

  • Staying at home could leave you exposed to indoor air pollution, study reveals

    Secondhand tobacco smoke and routine tasks such as operating the stove shown to be biggest emitters of indoor pollution in UK homes

    Christmas and New Year is a time when many people will be at home. Being indoors can give us a degree of protection from outdoor air pollution, but it can also trap pollution we produce inside our homes.

    Risks from secondhand tobacco smoke are well known and the effect is perhaps best seen by comparison of health data before and after indoor smoking bans. A study of 47 indoor smoking bans in public spaces found hospital admissions for heart attacks decreased by an average of 12%, but people are less aware of other indoor pollutants and how to minimise them.

  • ‘It would drive some people crazy’: Victoria’s French Island remains remote, and that’s how most like it

    Just 70km from Melbourne yet only accessible by ferry, the island’s isolation is the source of its appeal and its biggest drawback

    Approaching French Island on the ferry at dawn, if you’re lucky you might be greeted by the sight of hundreds of ibis in flight. From far away, they look like starlings in murmuration, the flock constantly swelling and shifting like the sea far beneath them.

    Just 70km from Melbourne in the middle of Western Port Bay, French Island is a remote haven hidden in plain sight. While nearby Phillip Island boasts popular holiday attractions, a motorcycle grand prix, a population of nearly 14,000 and a bridge to the mainland, French Island – twice its size – can only be accessed by an expensive, intermittent two-car barge from the small town of Corinella, or passenger ferry from Stony Point. It’s a refuge for native wildlife, and for a small human population – just 139 in the last census – who live entirely off-grid and prefer things to stay quiet.

  • ‘When you plant something, it dies’: Brazil’s first arid zone is a stark warning for the whole country

    The Caatinga in the north-east has been transformed by the heating climate in just a generation and could become the country’s first desert

    Every Tuesday at dawn, Raildon Suplício Maia goes to the market in Macururé, in Brazil’s Bahia state, to sell goats. He haggles with buyers to get a good price for the animals, which are reared in the open and roam freely.

    Goats are the main – and sometimes only – source of income for the people of Macururé, a small town in the Brazilian sertão.This rural hinterland in the country’s north-east is known for its dry climate and harsh conditions.

    Raildon Suplicio Maia, a goat farmer from Macururé sells his animals at the market. Grazing has disappeared and he now spends any profit on feed

  • Defunding fungi: US’s living library of ‘vital ecosystem engineers’ is in danger of closing

    These fungi boost plant growth and restore depleted ecosystems, but federal funding for a library housing them has been cut – and it may be forced to close

    Inside a large greenhouse at the University of Kansas, Professor Liz Koziol and Dr Terra Lubin tend rows of sudan grass in individual plastic pots. The roots of each straggly plant harbor a specific strain of invisible soil fungus. The shelves of a nearby cold room are stacked high with thousands of plastic bags and vials containing fungal spores harvested from these plants, then carefully preserved by the researchers.

    The samples in this seemingly unremarkable room are part of the International Collection of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (INVAM), the world’s largest living library of soil fungi. Four decades in the making, it could cease to exist within a year due to federal budget cuts.

  • Rana povezanost mozga predviđa oporavak nakon traumatske ozljede mozga

    Nakon traumatske ozljede mozga, neki se pacijenti mogu potpuno oporaviti, dok drugi zadržavaju teške invaliditete. Točna procjena prognoze je izazovna kod pacijenata na terapiji održavanja života. Iako funkcionalna magnetska rezonancija u mirovanju (rs-fMRI) može procijeniti neurološku aktivnost ubrzo nakon ozljede mozga, nije poznato predviđa li komunikacija između regija mozga u ovom ranom trenutku dugoročni oporavak.

  • Antimikrobna rezistencija pojavljuje se kao sporo napredujuća globalna pandemija

    Diljem svijeta uobičajene infekcije postaju sve teže za liječiti. Novi pregled prikazuje otrežnjujuću sliku globalne antimikrobne rezistencije (AMR), prateći kako se bakterije i gljivice razvijaju brže nego što medicina može reagirati. Uspoređujući podatke o rezistenciji iz više sustava nadzora, znanstvenici su identificirali alarmantne trendove: rastuću otpornost na antibiotike posljednje linije, regionalne nejednakosti i brzo širenje rezistentnih gena putem globalnih putovanja i poljoprivrede.

  • THC proizvodi mogu malo ublažiti boli, no imaju nuspojave

    Nova analiza više studija otkriva da proizvodi od kanabisa koji sadrže relativno visoke razine psihoaktivnog spoja tetrahidrokanabinola, obično poznatog kao THC, mogu pružiti kratkoročna poboljšanja boli i funkcije. Međutim, pregled je otkrio da proizvodi na bazi THC-a dovode do povećanog rizika od uobičajenih štetnih simptoma poput vrtoglavice, sedacije i mučnine.

  • Je li vagusni živac ključ mlađeg i zdravijeg srca?

    Izgleda da tajna zdravijeg i mlađeg srca leži u vagusnom živcu. Naime, nova studija je pokazala da je očuvanje bilateralne srčane vagusne inervacije faktor protiv starenja srca. Posebno se desni srčani vagusni živac pojavljuje kao pravi čuvar zdravlja kardiomiocita, pomažući u očuvanju dugovječnosti srca neovisno o otkucajima srca.

  • Čaj ima pozitivan učinak na zdravlje kostiju kod starijih žena

    Istraživanje koje je trajalo 10 godina otkrilo je da starije žene koje piju čaj imaju nešto jače kosti od svojih vršnjakinja koje konzumiraju kavu. Valja istaknuti, da čak i mala poboljšanja gustoće kostiju mogu smanjiti rizik od prijeloma kostiju.

  • Je li Alzheimerova bolest češća nego što se prije mislilo?

    Prema rezultatima nove studije, više od 1 od 10 odraslih osoba starijih od 70 godina ispunjavalo je kriterije za terapiju monoklonskim antitijelima koja bi potencijalno mogla usporiti kognitivni pad.

  • Obećavajući cilj može poboljšati antitumorski odgovor kod raka gušterače

    Američki znanstvenici s The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre otkrili su da mitohondrijski enzim, GFER, stvara imunosupresivno okruženje unutar tumora gušterače, što dovodi do otpornosti na liječenje, a inhibicija GFER-a u kombinaciji s blokadom imunoloških kontrolnih točaka rezultira snažnim antitumorskim odgovorom u predkliničkim modelima, ističući potencijalnu terapijsku strategiju za pacijente s rakom gušterače.

  • Tjelovježba smanjuje rizik od limfedema nakon raka glave i vrata

    Limfedem nakon raka glave i vrata znatno je češći nego što se prije pretpostavljalo i može trajati dugo nakon završetka liječenja raka. No, sada su švedski znanstvenici s Lund University otkrili da pacijenti s niskom razinom tjelesne aktivnosti imaju veći rizik od razvoja limfedema.

  • Otkrivene značajne promjene u crijevnim bakterijama na početku upalne bolesti crijeva

    Pacijenti doživljavaju značajne promjene u crijevnim bakterijama na početku upalne bolesti crijeva (IBD), otkrila je nova studija, nudeći novu nadu za raniju dijagnozu i buduće liječenje.

  • Metabolizam vitamina B3 može imati ulogu u ponavljajućim pobačajima

    Žene koje imaju ponavljajuće pobačaje mogu patiti od metaboličkog problema koji utječe na njihovu sposobnost održavanja trudnoće, tvrdi nova studija. Naime, krvne pretrage žena koje su pretrpjele dvije ili više uzastopnih izgubljenih trudnoća pokazale su da njihova tijela mogu imati razlike u načinu na koji obrađuju vitamin B3 (niacin).
