Squash leaves These leaves are used to make a traditional dish in Kenya. Mashed with some potatoes and corn and it tastes super delish. I have seen the flowers utilised as a meal in some parts of the world as well. I didn't love traditional dishes growing up but I really love them now. #plants #plant #plantsofinstagram #instagramplants #botany #plantlover #plantarchive #yellowflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cor4_hxsjpt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Peacock flower Botanical name: caesalpinia pilcherrima I take a lot of wild plants photos. Plants growing and thriving in the wild is so fascinating. I'm conscious of plants growing around me and I found this beauty on my way to the farm. Isn't she lovely!? #peacockflower #caesalpinia #flowers #flowersofinstagram #redflowers #orangeflowers #plants #plant #plantsarchive #plantphotography #plantcycle #plantjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPnjeRsM_j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tasmanian blue gum Botanical name: Eucalyptus globules I love these for their pleasant smell and their foliage. They are so similar to the Eucalyptus species used as cut foliage in flower bouquet except the leaves in these are larger. #eucalyptus #bluegum #trees #tree #treephotography #plantcycle #plantsarchive #plants #plant #plantphotography #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantcycle #plantjourney #plantsinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPlAXoMiDp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tree tomatoes/ Tomarillo Botanical name: Solanum betaceum I recently tasted the tree tomato juice and it's a perfect option for people who like intense flavoured drinks with an hint of sweetness. I have seen the tree tomatoes for a big part of my life but I only knew their vernacular name until this time we were visiting a research centre and my course mate was telling me to look at how beautiful the tree tomatoes were but I was not seeing anything that looked like tomatoes hahaha. The tree tomatoes look more beautiful when ripe with their deep red or orange colour but today I was not lucky enough to find a ripe one. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPdzNus9w7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sugarcane Botanical name: saccharum oficinarum Swahili: miwa Chewing sugarcane on a hot day is a form of therapy.

Giant granadilla Botanical name: passiflora ligularis An interesting plant in my this one, it used at my home entirely for the fruits but it's a great addition ornamental plant for the garden. Small but rich fragrant flowers and possibly the largest fruits in it's family. #passion #granidilla #fruits #plantinsta #plantlife #plants #botanyphotography #fruit #plantphotography #instagramplants #agriculture #horticulture https://www.instagram.com/p/CoH6BubsPKl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
