Frutti e fiori

Some pictures in detail of the invading zucchini plant in our backyard.
I am always astounded when I see how large the flowers are when open (in the mornings).

hmm I'm sure they are not growing out of the concrete, but I think having them lie on the concrete is probably better for the developing fruit, since fruit lying on soil is more susceptible to rot?

hmm. I suppose so, most of the fruit seems to develop without touching the ground, although I imagine it would affect it - like when tomatoes ripen against their stakes, they get a little dark scabby bit where it touches.
