Dear my friends
Today I come back here and share some beautiful flower portraits that I captured through the camera lens, yes while working on this section I started to fall in love with flower plants, every day I definitely take the time to look for those beautiful flower plants. whether the flower plants that are cultivated by residents and flower plants that grow wild in the wilderness.
this is a flower from the "punica granatum" plant which is just issuing flowers for the first time, yeah this plant is very familiar to Indonesian people, especially people who live in an agricultural environment, basically this plant is cultivated only for complementary plants for other plants, but over time Over time, this plant has become one of the types of plants that are hunted by connoisseurs because they believe that the fruit of "punica granatum" has good benefits for human health, so it's not surprising that recently punica granatum has become a trend in some areas.
Indonesian people mention "punica granatum" with the name "ruby" not without reason they pinned the name for "punica granatum" because the seeds of the fruit are very similar to this rare gem. I'm sure if someone puts punica granatum seeds and gems on one table then you will find it difficult to distinguish between the two, they both have almost 90% color similarity, in this case you also need to be careful if you want to buy rare gems because someone might make a copy from the seeds of punica granatum.
Punica granatum is a fruiting plant that can grow to 5–8 m. This plant is thought to have originated in Iran, but has long been bred in the Mediterranean area. The Moors named one of the ancient cities in Spain, Granada after this fruit. This plant is also widely grown in South China and Southeast Asia. Punica granatum comes from the Middle East, spread in subtropical to tropical areas, from the lowlands to below 1,000 m above sea level. This plant likes loose soil that is not submerged in water, with groundwater that is not deep. Pomegranate is often grown in gardens as an ornamental plant, medicinal plant, or because of its edible fruit. Wikipedia
