ayoxochitl (Mdz24v)

The visual for ayoxochitl) in this glyph is reminiscent of some of the contemporary squash blossoms that have a striped, bulbous base just above the stem, as seen here: https://www.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/recipes/2016/07/what-do-i-do-with-zu.... As shown in that image, the flower tips are yellow-orange, and they are yellow in the glyph, as well. Squash blossoms are still a major feature of Mexican cuisine today, being fried, stuffed, put in soups, added to salads, and consumed in tacos and quesadillas. The consumption of squash blossoms also stretches across a long swath of the Americas; the Hidatsa people of North Dakota shared a vast store of information about their preparation of squash, seeds, and the blossoms with an ethnographer, Gilbert Livingstone Wilson, in a study published in chapter 5 of Agriculture of the Hidatsa Indians (1916).
