the Buttercup squash, photographed in the "Allotment gardens" Vanneau village in the marsh Poitevin. I'm surprised by the beauty of this flower, yellow shining under the hot sun of the end of the morning, making "competition" in the sun itself, by its color if light.

If you look my workshop
you can see that Buttercup squash ripen

*******************************************************

The Buttercup squash is also called pumpkin, giraumon, squash, big squash. However, we must not confuse the pumpkins and pumpkins, which belong to two different species.
The Buttercup squash is widely cultivated as a vegetable for its edible fruit to maturity. The term also refers to this fruit eaten as a vegetable who had returned to fashion in recent years. This is one of five species of squash most commonly cultivated.

It's a herbaceous plant annual long stems very strong, creeping, possibly climbing, clinging by tendrils in any medium.

The leaves are large, whole, heart, nervation palmate, forming five rounded lobes.

The flowers sexes separated (monoecious plant) are yellow-orange.

Fruits are very polymorphic. They vary according to varieties, by their form (spherical more or less flat, elongated, ...), dented by their size (less than one kg to over 200 kg), in their mature color (white, yellow, orange, red, green, blue-green ...). A specific character is the section of the cylindrical stems, very large and spongy (subéreux). The flesh is thick and yellow-orange.

Bonsoir/bonjour Corinne,
En plus de si bien réfléchir la lumière, ces fleurs sont comestibles. On ne mange cependant que les mâles! :)
Superbe macro avec un incroyable rendu des textures!
Bravo et merci pour les vitamines!
