It ain’t a weed. It’s a herb.

Hard at work in the Garden (back when we first started), I noticed an auntie plucking up some weeds in the Bougainvilla row. I actually ran up to her and asked what was she doing. (Can’t believe I did that).

She said that the weed she plucked was a herb used to cool down the system – “chiak liang eh”. Wash the plant, boil and drink.

This evening, one of my Gardeners headed me a stack of printouts of the plants we can find in the RC Garden. I was totally amazed at the information found within.

It never ceases to amaze to constantly learn that that common roadside weed you see is actually a herb.

Emilia.

That pink tip green bodied capsule like thingey ripens to a head of white feathers. You would have probably picked a bunch up and blew on them, releasing them into the wind.

Wow
