SKK's Garden Highlights - 2012
I have to admit @ Bhilai home , there is something about the wind & sun ,that turn me into a child :)
I turned to a lazy duckling :) :) wandering around in SKK's garden staring at flowers , butterflies, lady buds, insects.......
I found these two flowers very attractive and my mom doused my curiosity - she explained their medicinal values as below :
Vishnukranti (Scientific name .........hmm......interesting ...thanks to wiki :P)
Increases hair growth n memory .........(though it never worked on my brother a.k a. dinosaur , not that he swallowed this plant ;) )
Botanical name : Evolvulus alsinoides
Procedure : Its root's juice is to be consumed
facts apart ..I totally adore these blue flowers & that's how they are featured here ....
Shreeparvathy or Mukkutti :
This plant is a great remedy for loose motion, fever, healing
wounds and improves immunity.
Ayurveda considers this little herb as a good medicine, used as a tonic,
stimulant and in the treatment of stomachache, diabetes and asthma.
Botanical name : Biophytum sensitivum
Procedure : Its leaves are boiled with rice and served hot... :)
Again i was attracted by the bright small yellow flowers.......
Happy Gardening

Hello! Glad to stumble upon your blog. We have Evolvulus glomeratus here which is I have grown ones. Gone now ;-) The other plant is really pretty. I don't think I have seen this before. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie..
ReplyDeleteThe blue color of Evolvulus has got a magnetic pul ..i can say :) I just love to look at them .... They often grow like weeds if not pruned at regular intervals . And the yellow flower is a beauty & it is of immense significance to the women folks out here in kerala ,India.
I am glad you liked my post, thanks for posting comments.
Have a great weekend & Happy Gardening : )
