Are you a nature lover?
Have you ever planted any flowers?
Do you enjoy observing the development of a plant?
My answer to all of the above-mentioned questions is yes. That’s why today I want to share with you the blue pea tree plant grown at my mom’s house.
My grandmother has lived in Ho Chi Minh city with my uncle's family and helps him take care of his 2 babies. I admire her a lot since her skin is very light despite her old age. I think it's because she drinks butterfly pea flower tea every day. Last year, my grandmother spent about 1 month living at my house in the beautiful city of Vung Tau. My grandmother is a plant lover and she especially loves blue pea trees, so she spread blue pea seeds on a small vacant plot of land just 15m2 next to my house. It was amazing that these butterfly pea plants grew very quickly and spread everywhere. When I returned home on the last Lunar New Year, I was mesmerized to see blue-violet flowers crisscrossing in a place that my mother never looked at due to her busy work.
With the determination to help the blue pea tree grow better, I begged my brother-in-law to take me to buy a wire mesh to make a trellis for the flower to climb. We both worked all day trying to figure out how to hang this net so we could see the flowers from the window. And after putting so much effort, the blue pea plant has grown strongly and luxuriantly as well as producing a bunch of flowers. My mother was also very surprised that the flower tree crawling around on the ground could create such a wonderful view by the window after only 3 months.
In just 3 days, the first young branches of the flower tree had grown strongly and clung to the trellis.

"Can you see? It has grown up cuz' I took care of it." 😝
And this was the result of 6 months.
At that time, it was great that I can at least do something cool during days staying at home due to the pandemic apart from studying online. The butterfly pea plant has grown strongly and produced loads of flowers. My sister and I had taken the plant as the background for tons of our photos since they were definitely gorgeous.
It's also the background for many of my smoothies.😉
The attractive purple-blue petals and tender green leaves of the butterfly pea tree seem to be dancing in the heavy rain on a summer afternoon.
I was finally able to see the green of a plant from a window.
If typing the keyword "Benefits of butterfly pea flower tea", you can get thousands of results such as good for skin, hair, anti-ageing, anti-obesity, support for cancer treatment, boosting immunity, antibacterial properties, improving eyesight, reducing anxiety, preventing depression. I think that if you maintain drinking a cup of butterfly pea flower tea every day, you will have really good health. As for me, I love the green colour of this tea. More specifically, if you squeeze a lemon into it, this drink will gradually turn purple. It's amazing, isn't it? Then just add sugar and enjoy this naturally coloured drink. It tastes like lemonade so it's great when you drink it on a scorching summer day.
Pour the butterfly pea flower tea into a glass having ice already.
Then squeeze a slice of lemon in... Do you see it gradually changing colour?
...put the sugar in and let's enjoy it 😋
I'm not sure if my blue pea flower plant is as healthy as it used to be since I haven't been home for a long time. But anyway, I'm extremely proud that I was able to take care of a butterfly pea plant so well and I love it.
Thank you so much for reading my post.
Have a warm night! 😘
