It was a rainy day and my morning half wasted for vipering water in the veranda. When the rain slowed down, the postman started to ringing his bell loudly. My eyes stopped in front of the letter box to enjoy the color of Butterfly pea flowers.
The plant spread by seeds inside pods. Pods need to be converted to brown, to be eligible for germinating. I picked some pods to get seeds for next round of the plant.
Even though the plant consist of many pods, it is not easy to germinate all seeds. Darwin is correct, It is natural selection. It's the way of controlling over reproduction.
Butterfly pea, has a medicinal value as same as many other flowers. After putting butterfly pea flower into boiling water, it gives a pleasant looking blue color. This drink boosts immune system, and also many more other health benefits like weight loss. Old people recommend this water to clean face, as it is very good for skin.
Butterfly pea flowers can be used as a natural food coloring. Specially when cooking rice, it is used to give a blue color to the white rice. The amount of color can be enhanced by adding more flowers. In other hand, the Butterfly pea water, gives color changes with acid. It primary classes we used it as an indicator to determine acids. In day-to-day life, we use this flower for religious purposes.
