Good morning, my lovely friends... Today I have something beautiful to share with you. The atmosphere is so nice after last night's rain; it's so refreshing and cool. These days, the weather is hot during the day, but quite bright at night, so the rain makes the atmosphere really pleasant. Many of the flowers next to my house are blooming beautifully, but there's one flower that blooms every day, just before noon, then the petals fall to the ground. But the next morning, there are beautiful purple flowers to admire, refreshing the start of the day. This flower also has medicinal properties!
"Mossock Rose" is a small herbaceous plant that grows both outdoors and indoors. Its pale purple flowers have delicate, five-lobed petals. It possesses medicinal properties from its roots to its leaves. The leaves can be used as an anthelmintic (deworming agent) or applied topically to relieve muscle pain. The roots, when boiled, can be used to treat kidney disease and whooping cough, and may have other medicinal uses as well. Furthermore, its flowers are visually appealing and their pale purple color is calming. The mature fruit also produces seed pods that, when exposed to water, burst open, scattering small seeds inside. These seeds germinate easily with minimal care.
The delicate, pale purple petals of the flower look so fragile and vulnerable. We can only admire them from morning until afternoon, because by evening the flowers wilt and wither. The morning glory flowers at my house grew naturally. I think they must have come from little birds picking up scraps of food and weeds, which then fell to the ground, causing them to grow and flourish. And to this day, they are still in my backyard garden.
The seeds of the morning glory are elongated and oval-shaped. When mature, they turn dark brown to black. When the fruit falls into water or damp soil, it bursts open, scattering numerous seeds inside onto the ground. These seeds then grow into new morning glory plants, providing a continuous stream of beautiful flowers.
How was it, friends? Did the morning glory flowers I shared with you today bring you joy? I've never smelled them to see if they're fragrant, but when I'm close to them, they don't seem to have much scent. They might just be beautiful, but they don't offer a pleasant fragrance. And that's my short article for today. Thank you for your continued support and I'll see you in the next article. Bye-bye, friends!
