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=

Few things remind me of my childhood. But these peacock flowers remind me of a time that I used to spend my summers in Miragoane. My dad always had these planted around the porch and I would sit there taking in their fragrance and playing with the flower heads. One of the reasons I currently have them growing. Every morning I wake up with a gentle smile. ・・・ #growninhaiti #Peacockflower #Caesalpiniapulcherrima #fabaceae #nostalgia #memories #flowerpower #agroforestry #diversity #variety #childhood https://www.instagram.com/p/CCddN_2lVlq/?igshid=17w0y7ve5r1x0

Throughout history as an ornamental shrub, very little has been mentioned in the botanical literature about the role it played in the lives of desperate slave women struggling against the terrible situation they found themselves in. This beautiful tropical shrub, with its fine, lacy leaves and brilliant orange flowers that are irresistible to hummingbirds, produces a seed pod who’s poison was well known to women of the West Indies. Medical literature of the eighteenth century describes the attempts of slave women to end their pregnancies so that their children would not contribute to the wealth of a slave owner. Some women sought medicine from plantation doctors in the hopes it would cause a miscarriage while others relied on plants like the peacock flower. Slaves used the seeds of this plant to abort their children, so that they would not be born into slavery. ・・・ #growninhaiti #peacockflower #caesalpiniapulcherrima #poicianapulcherrima #slavery #abortion #tropical #flower #revolt #haiti #ayiti #agroforestry #history #didyouknow #notsoFunFacts https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzzTxjjpJK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d7ik8h273vuk
