Thankfully you wrote the name – they seemed familiar and then not…. until I realised that once I had flowering rocket (rucola)….
I uploaded it (when I was still quite active and new on Flickr….) here:
Thank you – this is a great macro! And I love rocket leaves in every form, they are a slice of Italy for me
I love your shot! The leaf veins stand out so well and I love the bee? in flight. I didn’t know arugula/rocket was also called rucola until last week. All from the same Latin root apparently.
In Switzerland (as in Italy) it‘s only known as rucola. I know it since I spent three weeks in Florence for a crash language course and we bought it fresh from a tiny greengrocer‘s shop nearby our rental. it was an education of the Poor Italians‘ kitchen experience…. marvellous!!!!
Parsley is called prezzemola. Isn,t that a great word???
Beautiful! And now I’m wondering how many other flowers have got only four petals, mostly it’s five or any other uneven number… will have to do some research in the morning. 😄
I’ve just had a look here: https://pflanzenbestimmung.info/4-bluetenblaetter/
There are definitely more flowers with only four or even less petals than I thought!! And they’re very pretty too. 😊 xxxxxxx

I believe so, but I haven’t tried them yet. Perhaps in a salad later! 😀

I tasted a few this morning. They aren’t very strong-flavoured, but do taste like arugula. They would be very pretty in a salad.
