Good beautiful morning to ya!
Here’s a different look at Anguiculture from a medicinal, yet beautiful perspective.
Our local bush doctors (our parents and grandparents and great great grandparents etc) swear by dis bush.
It grows wild and is a regular imposter in most farming plots.
Dem say (and we know who ‘dem say’ is) if you draw a leaf or two in hot water and drink, (the water, not the leaf), it good for expelling cough off the chest.
In the expulsion process the mucus may utilize an upward exit passage or downward, that depends on I don’t know what. But dem say the ting works!!!! Or as The Bahamians would say, ‘it vorks!’
But besides such, I find these things absolutely beautiful.
I have been further educated that it is aka ball of thread, rabbit bush, button weed, mutton balm and piaba. The behind the scenes info is that I had planned for months to take shots of this hollow stalk patch but procrastinated. But last Mother’s Day I decided to treat myself and do something I wanted to do!
So, my iPhone and I climbed in, over, through, up and down that patch! (I have Exhibits A to Z on my legs to prove it tooo!!!! Was worth it! Loved it!
Ave Challenge: I got something for ya!
I have a Banana Nut Pineapple Raisin Bread for the first person who tells me where that patch of hollow stalk is located. I need SPECIFICS!
Winnerrr!
Alright folks… I have a winnerrr!!! It’s right above the Anguilla Tourist Board. See it in the background??
