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.

  • Sewage released into England’s rivers and seas nearly 300,000 times last year

    Campaigners criticise frequent use of storm overflows when parts of the country were in drought for months

    Raw sewage was discharged into rivers and seas almost 300,000 times last year after the driest spring for more than 100 years and the sunniest and warmest year on record in England.

    Water companies released raw sewage into rivers and seas from storm overflows – designed to be used in extreme wet weather conditions – 291,492 times. This was a 35% reduction on record spills in 2024. Average discharges were 20.5 spills for each overflow, compared with 31.8 in the previous year.

  • What does the Iran war mean for clean energy transition?

    Here’s what to know about how the current crisis could shape the expansion of renewable energy

    As the deadly war in Iran triggers what the International Energy Agency has described as the worst oil crisis in history, climate advocates are calling for a faster shift away from fossil fuels, but the conflict may also hamper that transition.

    US-Israeli strikes on Iran have disrupted supply routes through the strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil flows. The US, Israel and Iran have also all launched strikes on fossil fuel facilities, creating additional market shocks.

  • Fears net zero is ‘next Brexit’ as oil crisis fuels political climate divide

    Rising energy bills give Reform and Tories opening to attack net zero while government hesitant to make case for clean energy

    Could net zero become “the next Brexit”? That is the fear stalking climate advocates as the oil crisis caused by the war on Iran starts to bite.

    A powerful coalition of the well-funded Reform party, led by Nigel Farage, the Conservative party, some business interests, and the UK’s right-wing media, are engaged in an onslaught against the longstanding target of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

  • ‘A toxic punch’: fears Russia’s war is pushing the Black Sea and its dolphins past tipping point

    As species vanish and the unique ecosystem radically changes, Ukrainian scientists can only wait until it is safe to properly assess the damage

    In the embattled harbours of Odesa, a scientific vessel lists in its mooring. No one has been able to take a look at the damage to the Boris Alexander from Russian drones and shelling that have hit the port city over the past four years of war in Ukraine. It is too dangerous, just as no one has been able to fully monitor the damage the war is doing to the Black Sea.

    “We can only wait,” says Dr Jaroslav Slobodnik, the director of the Environmental Institute, headquartered in the Slovak Republic. “The biodiversity landscape is completely altered. A number of species seem to have disappeared, but we need more data. Data which the war makes it impossible to collect.”

  • Country diary: Spring is here – a mad mix of joy and discipline | Paul Evans

    The Marches, Shropshire:The call of the chiffchaff and the turning of the allotment soil – these are seasonal rituals honed over time

    A pair of ravens, barking mad, perform their shuttling flight in glorious sunshine above Old Racecourse Common. A charm of chaffinches flash white wing-bars through the shadows of mossy willows around the pond. A queen red-tailed bumblebee orbits a hedgebank boundary stone, then buzzes off to feed on gorse flowers or prospect for possible colony chambers below.

    A lesser-spotted woodpecker hammers out rapid bursts of drumbeats from a stand of beech across the misty distances of the hills. Chiffchaffs find their rhythm in the oaks. These constantly repeated two-note phrases are not what they seem when you hear the writer and musician Mark E Smith say of his own work: “It’s not repetition, it’s discipline.” A chiffchaff flies out from tree cover, across the open common, an apparition so slight compared with the powerful, hidden voice, to resume their discipline in further oaks.

  • Two salon owners wanted to go zero-waste. Could they do it and keep their business afloat?

    Scisters Salon & Apothecary in the San Diego area is committed to sustainable beauty and going low-waste

    The first thing you notice when you walk into Scisters Salon & Apothecary is what isn’t there. No wall of glossy plastic bottles promising “repair” or “shine”. No sharp chemical tang or aerosol haze. The only trash can is a tiny basket that mostly collects coffee cups and gum wrappers clients bring from home.

    Instead, the shelves of this southern California salon are lined with large refill containers of shampoo and conditioner, houseplants dot the space, hair clippings are swept away for compost, and the air carries a trace of bergamot and vanilla.

  • How coded wartime forecasts kept intelligence out of enemy hands

    During the second world war, farmers received forecasts in code and railway announcers were banned from blaming delays on fog or snow

    Data security is not just a modern issue. The BBC stopped its daily weather forecasts as soon as the second world war started. They had been a feature of the radio schedule since 1923 but continuing them would have given vital weather intelligence to the Germans.

    In particular, the forecast provided information about when skies would be clear, what winds were blowing and when storms were expected, all of which would be helpful for the Luftwaffe when planning bombing raids.

  • How weaving, glamping and kayak tours are helping to tackle deforestation in Argentina’s Gran Chaco

    Small farmers and community-led conservation groups are trying to protect one of the biggest semi-arid forests in the world – under threat from expanding agriculture, wildfires and the ‘logging mafia’

    Jorge Luna stands in a piece of Argentina’s Gran Chaco forest that he calls his own. Birds sing as he surveys skyscraping molle trees, known as pepper trees, palo santo and algarrobo, or carob trees. “It’s good wood,” says Luna, 55. “I was about to cut them down.”

    Selling timber promises quick and easy money in the sprawling ecosystem that covers parts of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. But it comes at a steep price, contributing to rampant deforestation and irreversible damage to the forest.
