Today I had to go out in an emergency to buy cheese at the corner grocery store. On the weekend I forgot to buy it and I still don't get used to having my breakfast without the respective cheese accompanying either the bread or the "arepa", on the way I found this beauty, I always see them in the gardens of some neighbors and even in the farm of my parents there are some of other colors, predominating the red, they are beautiful, their tonalities and paintings very similar in occasions to the orchids that I like so much.This beautiful capacho flower, as it is commonly known in my country, and whose scientific name iswas located right in a groove on the sidewalk, which makes me think that nature has an immense force and that it fights against whatever opposes it, always succeeding in coming out victorious. This beautiful flower and plant is even more beautiful than any of the plants in my garden, even though it is not cared for, only the rainwater and the inclement sun that it receives daily, even so it is beautiful and radiant, I think it gives us an example of life.Now, researching a little about this beautiful flower and plant, I have found so much information, that simply makes me think that if I liked it before, now I love it, and I dare to open a space in my garden to sow a few of them, because in addition to brighten our eyes with their bright and happy colors, has an infinity of uses and properties. Its dry leaves are used to make paper, which brings to mind a few projects to realize, the fibers of its dry stems are used to make beads of rope or jute, the seeds that leave us the dried flowers are used as beads for jewelry and to make musical instruments such as "maracas".It is a highly resistant plant, which allows its adaptation to almost any type of land, also within my research I got that it is edible too, its flowers, are used in stews and salads, this plant is obtained flour or starch and with it are prepared "atoles", biscuits and even bread, the latter I definitely have to investigate thoroughly and discover how this process is, because I would love to prepare a recipe with this plant, we must always try the new and this way know what we were missing. In conclusion, the oblivion of the weekend brought a new discovery for me today, which confirms what I always say, there is always something positive that we are given by the events that happen to us, no matter how negative they may be.
