Squash flowers - Bông Bí

Squash flowers are large, yellow flowers with fused corolla (petals). Squash have separate male and female flowers. (Bông Bí có màu vàng và được phân biệt rõ ràng giữa hoa đực và hoa cái.)

1. This is male flower: The male flower supplies the pollen grains (Đây là hoa đực, cung cấp phấn hoa)

3. Still male flower (hoa đực):

4. Male flower-bud (nụ hoa đực):

6. Like the other vine crops, the female blossoms can be easily identified by the small fruit (ovary) attached below the petals. (Đây là hoa cái. Hoa cái có một cái bầu phía dưới cuống hoa (nhụy hoa), sau này cái bầu này sẽ phát triển thành trái Bí.)

8. The stigma can be seen on the female flower. (will add photo here)

Hunting

1. This morning, I woke up early and felt fresh:

2. I wandered every where to hunt for food:

3. I was so hungry and tired: "God, please help me to find something to eat or I'm going to die..."

4. Before long: "Oh yeah, God heard me.... This will be my big breakfast and lunch. Thanks God."
