I went out for a walk and appreciated the beauty of wild plants and flowers as they stood out among others.

Walking with nature, we often admire the typical tourist spots and known attractions. Thus, have you ever given time to appreciate neglected beauty such as wildflowers? This past week, though it rarely happened, Caleb and I would join his Grandma and friends for a jog. I might say walked, as they are all Seniors 😆. My mother-in-law was still strong, but her sister was unlike her; she is 78, so no wonder. Most of the time, we would be by her side for safety reasons. Also, I could keep on her pace since I am holding my son. That gave me enough time to capture this;
This was near the sloping road, almost at the cliffy side. At first glance, it was just a bush. There was nothing to appreciate but wait.
Google says its cryptococcus accrescent The flowers are shaped like Incandescent mini lights, widespread, and the blossoms are at the small branches. source
A few steps away, I found another species of grasses, cenchrus pedicellatus. source. The flowers looks liks a cat tail right?
The surroundings are covered with bushes, and these soft, feather-like flowers give us something to admire.
I thought it was' Dama de Noche.' I remember having one at home when I was a kid. @asiaymalay and other sisters would go out at night and smell the fragrance. I don't know what the scientific explanation is, but it only blooms in the dark. Thus, looking at the tree, it seemed it was not.
Plumbago zeylanica is a shrub that grows in tropical and sub-tropical religions. source
Google says the flowers are usually white or blue, but I haven't seen the latter. With the previous grasses and this one, it would be perfect for creating a simple flower arrangement.
We called this baho-baho in our dialect, which I wonder why, as it doesn't smell foul. (Baho means foul smell in our language.) This was common in the wilds, parks, or even at home, served at fences back then.


It has a variety of colors, yet only these three I've found. Fun fact: After the flowers wither, small round fruits appear. When ripe, they turn dark like blueberries. I had that habit roaming the bushes just to harvest these fruits. LOL, they were edible!
This may look like cherries, but it's delicious. Don't get deceived. Bloodberries aren't edible. source
Physical appearance could mislead mislead us, right?
I was about to keep my phone but halted after seeing this at a distance: ** Brazilian joy weed** It was my first time seeing it, as we don't have it in our province.
The flower buds were too few for me to take photos using macro shots. I noticed that it resembles a Vietnam rose; thus, the leaves look like a medicinal plant. That made me no surprise at all that some used it to treat illness.
Lastly, I thought this plant lacked sunlight, but nope, that is how Brazilian Snow Flower. source I was thinking of getting a piece to be planted at home. However, I was reminded I had no pot, and the front yard land isn't ours 🤣 .
Hello there, fellow Hivers! Hoping everything is fine at your end! As today is Wednesday sharing my entry in #Wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay.

I'm the one who planted it. I remembered asking for it in one of our co Brgy. I wanted to bring it along when we moved out but didn't get the chance and when I went there to try to get some stem to grow, it was already cut down😤.
That's remind me to check in when I go home

That's walking while enjoying the beauty of wildflowers. There are many wild plants that also look beautiful but we just take them for granted, perhaps because we are only used to admiring the more popular ones. I can see these flowers as part of a big flower arrangement; they can enhance the whole beauty of the arrangement.
The tall grasses flowers, I think could be.

Thanks for sharing your nature experience! You are showing some very beautiful plants and flowers! Nice that you also tried to find out the scientific names of the plants.
I was curious that leads to a quick research.
