Greetings Steemians!
I love photography and I love sustainable holistic health! So I decided to go out and have some fun catching the light and framing the angles for some beautiful shots of what is hopefully real and valuable knowledge to add to your ever growing database!
Lots of plants that we see every day but have never tried or even know the names of are not only beautiful but edible! I do not recommend just eating any flowers that you see, but with that being said there are very few poisonous flowers. Most don't taste that good nor are very digestible, but without recommending doing it I can say it's not very statistically dangerous. All in all, research pays off and its better to be safe than sorry.
This first beautiful flower is one of our many kinds of basil which we wildcraft and cultivate in beyond organic standards.
This whole plant is edible including the flowers and has great depth and power as a medicine. @gardenofeden has made a lot of posts about the medicinal/healing properties of herbs in the past and will hopefully do more as they are post of real value!
These cute little flowers are also edible and seem to attract butterflies quite nicely, which is also another reasons why I love them! I got a beautiful photo of the elusive Yellow SwallowTail Butterfly for a photo challenge last week!
Here we have one of our 22 different kinds of mint. I love the long purple tuft flowers.
Lastly for today I have one more basil flower that looked nice, similar but not the same to the other basil flowers posted.
I am grateful to be living a healthy, natural and free life. I am grateful to be able to share that with others in this cutting edge community. I hope you enjoy the beauty of these photos and that this post shares valuable knowledge that improves your connection with nature and health.
