Native plants

Splendid - a garden that appears all by itself!

Yes Steragram, and it makes me feel guilty of pulling everything to make the car pass, pavement required by the city hall, plant grass and put a planned garden. So I'm frantically trying to save the plants, as soon as the flowers wither, I take the plant out of the place and put it in a flowerbed that we've made for preservation. I hope I can save many of them.

The second and last photo look interesting - any idea what they are?

The plant in your last picture looks like it is related to a common wildflower here in the northern hemi. The leaves and the stalk look like Oenothera, the flowers here are bright yellow and trumpet shaped. Have you found out what it is? No wonder it's a hummingbird favourite. the flowers are beautiful.

The native plants are very pretty. Will you try to keep some of then growing in your garden ?

Some of those plants are very pretty! Wouldn't mind a few of your weeds, oops, native plants, growing on the balcony! 😀😀😀

A great variety of colour there very pretty.

So nice to see plants from different parts of the world. Very colorful selection.

Wilie,
unfortuantelly I have no idea what kind of flowers are them, and the locals say "grass" "weed" :(
They are so pretty with the purple color

Hywel,
Yes, I'm trying to save some seedlings and cuttings. But I have to confess that it is difficult, they grow in the midst of the native grass, and out of nowhere the flowers appear.

Lori,
I'll try to find out the names of these plants

Balcony,
Believe me, it is my will not to set the garden and let the flowers grow wild as ever. But, that means letting all the weeds grow together and reach the height of our waist ... hehehe.
Thanks to you and your blog I saved the seeds and bulbs of the native amarilis. I got 16 bulbs.

Thruppennybit, thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Bathgate, yes is very nice. I am enchanted by the beauty of the gardens and the variety of flowers that we can appreciate in this group.

I certainly do Aleyna 😊

Lori,
The bothanical name is Siphocampylus Verticillatus, popular name here is Jarataca.

Thanks, Aleyna! It's a medicinal plant! just googled it and was surprised to find that it's used in an anti depressant. It sure is pretty in it's habitat.

They are like our wild flowers then Aleyna, they grow best in wild places but some spread from the fields and woods into my garden.
I'm glad you will try to save some seeds to grow them on :)

Lori,
I didn't know its medicinal properties. There are so many plants in Brazil with these properties, and lots of them in study.

Hywel, I don't know if they have seeds or not. I was thinking with hubby, about take some of these and plant in our "testing" garden, just to try save them. I know these plants grow in the vacant lots around ours. So if I do not succeed transplanting them I can try again next summer. Wish me luck.

There are many many plants/weeds here with all kinds of amazing medicinal properties. Milk Thistle, Chicory, Echanacea, Wood Sorrel, Stinging Nettle are examples. However, the FDA tries to quash those studies because the big Pharmaceutical Companies like Pfizer and Merck pays them big money to promote their own concoctions, like TheraFlu during the so called Flu pandemic which didn't really happen, but it sold a lot of TheraFlu.

Yes good luck ! :) I hope you will be successful ...

It's right there Bathgate, the big pharmaceutical companies are in the background trying to avoid the phitotherapic medications.

Thanks Hywel :)
