Squash Blossoms
/
Earlier this week I noticed that the zucchini squash plant I have in a large pot on my deck had almost as many buds as it had leaves! The weather has been cool and the many of the leaves still had tears caused by hail a week or so ago.
A little over a day after the first two pictures were taken, most of the buds opened. I glanced out my kitchen window as I fixed my breakfast to see the plant full of blooms. What a cheerful view to begin the day (and I’ll be even happier to see some squashes).
This morning the squash has more blooms! In the morning light, the green veins seen on the outside of the blooms contrasted with the glowing yellow.
In addition, the blossoms from a few days ago have a deeper color in their curls - another stop along the timeline of a zucchini squash.
