ハゼランにホソヒラタアブ···微風に揺れて♪

New available at www.trueloveseeds.com! Waterleaf is known as Efo Gbure in Yoruba and is a very important leafy vegetable in Nigeria. They were once considered to be in the Purslane family and are sometimes called Surinam Purslane. Like purslane, they are sprawling (yet more upright), producing succulent leaves and stems that are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals. They have beautiful pink star-shaped flowers and brittle seed pods that burst open, sending their seeds far and wide. For many people who themselves have dispersed far into the African Diaspora, this plant offers healing, nutrition, and a connection to home. Also known as: È̩fó̩ gbúre, Mgbolodi, Ebe–dondon, Alenruwa, Philippine spinach, sweetheart, flame flower, Florida spinach, Ceylon spinach, cariru, Surinam purslane, potherb fameflower, Lagos bologi. We are very slowly adding our new varieties to the website as the germ tests come in and as we find time to write the descriptions. Thanks for your patience! Efo Shoko should be added soon! #waterleaf #efogbure #gbure #surinamspinach https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7bw2BgQij/?igshid=13k6238k9ks03
