We appreciate your posts and the following ones are randomly selected because of their botanical qualities. They are manually curated on behalf of the Amazing Nature Community.

First a brief explanation about Botany:

Botany is a broad term covering scientific study of plants. It could be from a small living organism to a tree. Included would be flora, fungi, lichens, trees and flowering plants.

We are also interested in plants for their psychological (good for the mind & soul) benefits.

Through botany, medicinal properties are discovered from nature. Food, medicines, parks, forests, pollution and much more have been improved with botanical knowledge. Botanists search for alternatives from the harmful chemicals used on crops and the deforestation that has damaged the health of our planet.

Herbalism, with ancient people identifying edible, medicinal or poisonous plants, is the original of Botany. Our ancestors and Native peoples were botanists in their own right. They knew of the healing properties to be found in plants but much of that knowledge had been lost to future generations.


Now I would like to bring your attention to the curated posts and ask you to show some love to the amazing authors:


  • @sagesigma delights in finding different wildflowers and cataloguing them. This beautiful yellow flower is called the Woodland Sunflower, or Helianthus divaricatus.

  • @iris2016 was gifted a beautiful pink rose plant by her grandmother. The color of roses has a special meaning to her. A pink rose is a gesture of affection, tenderness and admiration.

  • @papilloncharity takes us on a walk in the garden with little critters watching his every move. The succulents are recovering from the cold and dreary winter in his country. They really enjoy nature there and Spring brings with it a lot of fun and laughter;
