fa sempre piacere ricevere queste visite sul mio balcone ! Explored

visto che sono momentaneamente impossibilitata ad andarli a cercare nei prati, menomale che gli insetti mi vengono a trovare sul mio balcone ;-)

sul fiore della mia erba cipollina, coltivata sul balcone per insaporire insalate, frittate e carni

in piena esplosione in questi giorni. Il paese d'origine dell'erba cipollina (Allium schoenoprasum) sembra essere la Cina, ove quest'erba, che predilige come substrato un terreno fresco e ricco, era apprezzata già quattromila anni or sono ed è comunemente usata in cucina. Si tagliano le foglie a seconda delle proprie necessità, avendo l'accortezza di non reciderle alla base, ma di lasciarne qualche centimetro in modo da favorire la ricrescita. Chi gradisce il sapore della cipolla, ma non la digerisce quando la aggiunge cruda alle insalate, può sostituirla con qualche foglia di erba cipollina ben affettata. La digestione è assicurata, anzi facilitata, e inoltre l'alito non darà problemi :) Explored

Allium roseum, commonly called rosy garlic, is an edible, Old World species of garlic native to much of Europe and the Mediterranean region, northern Africa, and western Asia; and naturalized in the Azores, and elsewhere. A. roseum grows naturally to about 1.5 feet high in well-drained soils, blooming from late spring to early summer. Inflorescences are umbels. The loose, fragrant florets are about 3 inches long, having six pallid petals apiece, that are pinkish to lilac in hue. The smell and flavour of the bulb is powerful enough to drive squirrels and browsing deer away from gardens, where they are planted as ornamental flowers. For this reason, they are suitable as companion plants to tulips and the like. Do not use any of my images on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit written permission.
