Location: Blufi (PA) – Blufi è un piccolissimo paesino (889 abitanti) in provincia di Palermo in cui, in prossimità del Santuario della Madonna dell'Olio, poco distante dal centro abitato, si trova un campo di grano che, ad ogni inizio di primavera, si trasforma in un tappeto verde punteggiato di rosso dovuto alla fioritura spontanea di decine di migliaia di tulipani. Si tratta del tulipano precoce di Raddii (tulipa raddii) originario dell'Asia minore e della Siria: il fiore si presenta di un colore rosso scarlatto con caratteristici petali a punta che presentano una macula scura alla base ornata di giallo. La fioritura, spontanea, si verifica generalmente intorno alla metà di marzo e inizio di aprile con un massimo della durata di circa due settimane. Un'antica leggenda persiana racconta di una delusione sentimentale: una donna che per molto tempo aveva atteso il ritorno del suo uomo, cadde mentre vagava alla ricerca del suo amato su una delle pietre aguzze ferendosi gravemente. Pianse con la consapevolezza che sarebbe morta senza rivedere il suo amore. Le sue lacrime si mescolarono al sangue e, cadendo sul terreno, si trasformarono in bellissimi fiori rossi. Da allora, tutte le primavere, questi fiori tornano a fiorire in ricordo di quest'amore infelice. Un'altra antica leggenda narra, invece, di due giovani sposi che, non potendo avere figli, si recarono al Santuario della Madonna dell'Olio per chiedere il miracolo e posero sull'altare dei tulipani bianchi come omaggio alla Vergine. Dopo qualche mese, scoprendo di aspettare due gemelli, tornarono al Santuario per ringraziare la Madonna e, con loro grande sorpresa, videro che i tulipani candidi da loro lasciati erano diventati rossi. Si voltarono stupiti e poterono osservare un immenso campo verde punteggiato di rosso. Inutile dirvi che, leggende o non leggende, la bellezza dei colori (tra l'altro il rosso ed il verde sono proprio i miei preferiti) mi ha consentito di divertirmi tantissimo e di giocare con qualche "esperimento".

They are not, however, poppies but a very particular species of tulips ... Red. ;-)
