, 1/640 f/4.5, ISO 250, hand held.

Appartiene alla famiglia della Boraginaceae e viene comunemente chiamata Sugamiele o Buglossa comune o Lingua di bue in relazione al luogo. E' diffusa in tutta l'Italia settentrionale sino alla quota di circa 1.500 m. slm. Il genere deriva il suo nome dalla parola greca “ankousa”, che significa “belletto”. Nei tempi antichi infatti, si estraeva dalla radice di Anchusa officinalis L., una tintura rossa che veniva usata nella preparazione dei belletti coi quali le donne greche e romane si truccavano il viso. Il nome specifico deriva dall'utilizzo officinale di tale specie. L'utilizzo di Anchusa officinalis L. per usi officinali, culinari e cosmetici è antichissimo. E' dotata di proprietà diuretiche, depurative, emollienti e sudorifere, aiuta inoltre a combattere le infiammazioni intestinali. Se ne usano le foglie e le sommità fiorite. Contiene cinoglossina, mucillagine, tannino, nitrato di potassio. Pur in presenza di diversi composti attivi attualmente è poco usata nel campo erboristico, viene preferita la più conosciuta borragine che gode delle medesime proprietà. Le foglie si possono mangiare lessate e condite con olio e limone. Sono buone anche ripassate in padella con olio, aglio e peperoncino. Gli steli lessati accompagnano ottimamente le uova sode. La radice, produce una tintura rossa, che veniva usata come colorante sia per uso cosmetico che alimentare. Anchusa officinalis L. era originariamente distribuita dal bacino pannonico all'Anatolia. L'area di distribuzione si è allargata ad occidente e a settentrione estendendosi a tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo per antiche colture come pianta officinale e alimentare ed a seguito del pascolo ovino. Scatto effettuato nel Luglio 2016 a Pozza di Fassa (Dolomiti).

I'm really happy with what I write about this shot and I thank you infinitely. I am satisfied for the photo appreciation and also for that of the caption. I'm learning a lot of things, almost everything about what I write in captions, making the identification and research on gender and the name of the flower and its habitat and its characteristics and medicinal use and items in the kitchen. Because of my age, I have to agree with the legendary late, Manzi teacher who made the famous statement that "it is never too late!".
Good weekend !
Mandi.
