Amazing Nature Botany Curation: June 2021 Report #1

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.

• @kansuze reflects on how quickly things change in springtime. The trilliums have bloomed and faded to be replaced by Solomon’s Seal and Lily of the Valley. The air in her area is now filled with the wonderful fragrance of the flowers from the lilac bushes that line the street.

• @alina97 appreciates the joy and peace of beautiful flowers and never tires of taking photos of them. She tells us about the Oleander plant that has many uses from combatting dandruff, hair loss to the ashes used in the manufacture of gunpowder and rat killer.

• @ingdenysrr inspects his papaya fruit for any worms or larvae that may be infecting the fruit. Papaya is highly appreciated and widely consumed. It is a food rich in water and low in calories, providing minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. It also has vitamin C and A.

• @irfandy shares his experience visiting an orchid garden in his area. He enjoys the beautiful colors and fragrances of the orchids. Not only for decoration, orchids can be used as natural medicines, as food ingredients and in beauty products.
