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:
- @lvelasquezc planted and germinated seeds from a papaya and is now enjoying the fruits of her harvest. Papaya has many medicinal uses with vitamins A and C; diuretic and inflammatory properties.
- @fermentedphil watches the fig tree as it’s foliage, like a metaphorical clock, reveals the spring and winter seasons. The tree signals change and rejuvenation ~ at the first sign of Spring there will be the new growth of buds and at the start of Autumn the leaves start to fall.
- @bluemoon thinks of the signs of old age on a recent holiday to Bulgaria when viewing trees older than one hundred years.
- @galca enjoys a nature walk after the rainy weather. She admires the contrast of autumn yellow and red colors against the background of still bright grass.
- @katiefreespirit finds in the forest a huge hub mushroom. It’s two mushrooms joined together that resemble a hoof.
