squash blossom

Zucchini plant bloom

Squash blossom has two meanings connected by shape.

The flower of a squash plant is edible and often stuffed or fried: squash blossom quesadillas.

In Navajo and Southwestern jewelry, a squash blossom is a crescent-shaped silver ornament, typically strung with similar beads into a necklace: She wore her grandmother's turquoise squash blossom.
