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.

  • Use of toxic Pfas in consumer goods must be urgently restricted, MPs say

    Commons committee heard from residents of Yorkshire town with the highest levels of ‘forever chemicals’ in UK

    On 15 January, members of the House of Commons environmental audit committee (EAC) visited Bentham, the North Yorkshire town that has the highest levels of Pfas contamination in the UK.

    Colloquially known as “forever chemicals”, Pfas (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) do not naturally degrade or decompose. This persistence gives them special properties with useful applications in both industrial and consumer products.

  • The no-go zone paradox: Chornobyl’s wildlife thrives amid pro-nuclear shift

    World’s worst nuclear disaster leaves mixed legacy of nature’s resilience amid serious contamination, as wars increase lobbying for energy supply

    Forty years on from the world’s worst nuclear disaster, Chornobyl is still contaminated with almost half the caesium-137 that exploded from the Unit 4 reactor in 1986, as well other hazards such as plutonium, tritium and americium. But according to some experts, the long-term effects on nature may be less than if the area had been left to humans, resulting in unexpected consequences in an environment left to its own devices.

    The reminder of the protracted fallout from Chornobyl was made ahead of Sunday’s anniversary, which coincides with renewed lobbying for nuclear power and a rise in fears about atomic brinkmanship due to the oil crisis and wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

  • Bonobos enjoy pretend tea parties and chimps think rationally: why apes are more like us than we ever thought

    A series of stunning findings about great apes’ mental capabilities in recent years has transformed how we see our closest relatives

    Clear plastic cups and pitchers adorned the wooden table in Des Moines, Iowa. Invisible juice was poured and presented to Kanzi, who enthusiastically chose the fake filled cup, playing along with the man who had come to visit. In many ways, it was the quintessential scene of a children’s imaginary tea party. Only Kanzi, at 44 years old, was a bonobo.

    The experiment, carried out at the Ape Initiative facility in 2024, was the first to empirically test and document pretend play in a great ape species, with the results published in the journal Science in February. The study adds to an expansive repertoire of research over the past decade that has uncovered robust similarities between ape and human behaviours, upending long-held beliefs about how we distinguish ourselves from our closest kin.

  • ‘Pacific ashtray’: Australian billionaire’s plan to ship and burn waste in Fiji condemned by villagers

    After his project got rejected in Sydney, a rubbish disposal magnate now hopes to build a $630m port and waste incinerator near a tourist gateway city

    An Australian billionaire’s plan to burn rubbish for energy in Fiji amounts to “waste colonialism” and risks spoiling a “beach paradise”, villagers and the Pacific country’s UN ambassador have said.

    Traditional landowner Inoke Tora boarded a bus to the capital, Suva, on Tuesday with a petition from villagers opposing the $630m waste-to-energy incinerator, which is forecast to consume 900,000 tonnes of non-recyclable rubbish each year.

  • Federal judge blocks Trump administration restrictions on wind and solar projects

    The injunction pauses policy giving senior Trump official direct sign-off on federal clean energy projects

    A federal judge in Massachusetts on Tuesday struck down several Trump administration actions slowing down development of clean energy, including a requirement that all solar and wind energy projects on federal lands and waters be personally approved by the interior secretary, Doug Burgum.

    Denise J Casper, chief judge of the US district court for Massachusetts, ruled that a coalition of plaintiffs representing wind and solar developers were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the administration’s actions violate federal statute and would cause irreparable harm if the court did not intervene.

  • Country diary: A tree can define a landscape – even when it has fallen | Paul Evans

    The Marches, Shropshire: Recently I had wondered how long this great lime would stay standing. The next day, I had my answer

    How quickly something that defines a landscape for centuries becomes the absence that redefines it – so it is with ancient trees. The trunk snapped like a carrot at the roots and crashed, its bony branches splintered. Now it lies like a shipwreck stranded in an open field, its hulk of twigs an animal pelt stilled.

    A day before, looking at its 300-year-old architecture of mostly dead wood yet so vividly alive, admiring its form and persistence through years and trouble, standing alone with spring coursing through the land and its timbers, I wondered how long, in tree time, it had left.

  • Calls for change to rules after stretch of Thames fails to gain bathing water status

    Campaigners in Henley say insufficient number of bathers to qualify for status is result of poor water quality

    Bathing water rules in England should be improved to help drive a clean-up of pollution at a spot on the River Thames in Henley, campaigners say.

    In a letter to the environment secretary, Emma Reynolds, businesses, river users, community groups and civic leaders said poor water quality had been damaging the town and had put public health at risk.

  • How Ireland’s war-driven fuel blockades revealed the true cost of Europe’s oil addiction

    Donald Trump’s conflict with Iran could speed the EU’s green revolution – if panicking governments can hold their nerve on clean energy

    • Don’t get This Is Europe delivered to your inbox? Sign up here

    A surge in demand for electric vehicles across Europe may be evidence of what George Monbiot greeted as the silver lining of the Iran war. Sales of electric cars in continental Europe rose by 51% in March.

    The International Energy Agency has called the disruption in the strait of Hormuz the “biggest energy crisis in history”, but it appears, on one level, to be accelerating Europe’s green revolution. Yet, even if car-owners are rushing to the EV showrooms, some European governments, facing a groundswell of anger over soaring petrol and gas prices, are at risk of sending the clean energy transition into reverse.

  • How Bolivia’s cacao farmers took on the gold-mining industry – and won

    As rising gold prices fuel environmental destruction, communities in the country’s biodiverse heartland are passing laws against mining

    Mahogany trees tower above Herminio Mamani as he tends his cacao farm in Bolivia’s biodiverse north-west. A former president of El Ceibo, the country’s largest organic cacao co-operative, he says the agroforestry model used by its 1,300 members is vital not only to maintain the quality of the cacao they grow, which is used for chocolate and other products, but also for keeping gold mining at bay.

    “We cacao producers would never kill an animal here,” he says, parrots squawking nearby. “The parcels [of land] can never be monocultures – all the crops grow together.”

  • Stern warning: one man’s mission to clear the rotting boats poisoning Cornwall’s creeks

    Unwanted vessels left to decay release fibreglass shards into the water, harming marine life. Steve Green – with his trusty van Cecil – is determined to clean things up

    Steve Green, a boat engineer from Cornwall, was pulled over by the police just before Christmas. He was driving a decrepit-looking VW campervan and towing an even more dilapidated yacht up to Truro. He hadn’t broken any laws, but he admits that Cecil the campervan, which runs on donated chip oil from local pubs and has a crane and a winch on the front, “wasn’t quite what VW intended”.

    Green (and Cecil) are on a mission to rid the beautiful hidden creeks of Cornwall’s Helford and Fal rivers of 166 abandoned fibreglass yachts, which are leaking plastic and toxins into the predominantly marine waters. Marine biologists have likened the thousands of shards of fibreglass they have found embedded in the flesh of sea-creatures in areas with wrecks such as these to asbestos, a substance known to have a noxious effect on humans.

    Green uses a detachable crane system at the front of his van to move around bags of plastic after they have been weighed. Cecil is upholstered in recycled denim
