20201025 不列颠哥伦比亚省的一块南瓜田 必应壁纸

南瓜田 不列颠哥伦比亚省的一块南瓜田 啊，多年生的南瓜田。你可能会认为今天照片中的橙色圆葫芦是蔬菜，但植物学家说南瓜实际上是南瓜藤的果实。南瓜之所以被认为是水果，是因为南瓜含有种子，并且生长在植物开花的同一部位。而现在，随着万圣节的临近，南瓜已经成熟，可以采摘并雕刻成恐怖的杰克-o'-灯笼。那个南瓜灯的传统可以追溯到19世纪中叶的爱尔兰，当时人们把脸刻在土豆或萝卜上以驱邪。爱尔兰移民把这一传统带到了北美，结果发现本地南瓜更容易雕刻。快来吧，我们很感激南瓜是季节性的“水果”，因为萝卜是一种有问题的香料拿铁饮料。

Ah, the perennial pumpkin patch. You might think the round orange gourds in today's photo are vegetables, but botanists say pumpkins are actually the fruit of pumpkin vines. They're considered fruit because pumpkins contain seeds and grow from the same part of the plant that produces flowers. And now, as Halloween nears, pumpkins are ripe for picking and carving into spooky jack-o'-lanterns.The jack-o'-lantern tradition dates to mid-1800s Ireland when people carved faces into potatoes or turnips to ward off evil spirits. Irish immigrants brought the tradition to North America, only to discover that native pumpkins were much easier to carve. Fast-speed ahead and we're just grateful that pumpkins are the seasonal 'fruit' of choice since turnips would make a questionable spiced-latte drink.
