Health benefits
Pears are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, E1, copper and potassium. Pears are the least allergenic of all fruits. Because of this, it is sometimes used as the first juice introduced to infants. Along with lamb and soya formula, pears form part of the strictest exclusion diet for allergy sufferers.
Pears can be useful in treating inflammation of mucous membranes, colitis, chronic gallbladder disorders, arthritis, and gout.
Pears can also be beneficial in lowering high blood pressure, controlling blood cholesterol levels, and increasing urine acidity.
They are good for the lungs and the stomach.
Most of the fiber is insoluble, making pears a good laxative. The gritty fiber content may cut down on the number of cancerous colon polyps.
Most of the vitamin C, as well as the dietary fiber, are contained within the skin of the fruit.
One must always eat tomatoes,
Tomatoes can be attributed to their wealth of nutrients and vitamins, including an impressive amount of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as significant amounts of vitamin B6, folate, and thiamin.
Tomatoes are also a good source of potassium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, and copper.
Have you had your tomato today?
Some of the many cattails along the last Vermilion Lake at sunset. The left shoulder of Mt. Rundle on the right.
Who knew (I didn't):
"No green plant produces more edible starch per acre than the Cat O’ Nine Tails; not potatoes, rice, taros or yams. Plans were underway to feed American soldiers with that starch when WWII stopped. One acre of cattails can produce 6,475 pounds of flour per year on average.
Cattails are the supermarket of the wilds. It is said that if a lost person has found cattails, they have three of the four things they need to survive: Water, food, shelter and a source of fuel for heat—the dry old stalks. The young cob-like tips of the plant are edible as is the white bottom of the stalk, spurs off the main roots and spaghetti like rootlets off the main roots. They have vitamins A, B,and C, potassium and phosphorus. The pollen can be used like flour." eattheweeds.com
Enjoy a wonderful week!
Murray River Pink Salt flakes are produced using the pristine mineralised brines from ancient saline aquifers of the Murray Darling basin. The stunning pale pink hue of the salt flakes is a result of the mineralised brines which are particularly high in magnesium, calcium, and to a lesser degree, potassium and iodine.

This Yellow Chrysanthemum Plant is a symbol of friendship and cheerfulness!!
`Did you know??~
Chrysanthemum has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years, playing a vital role in Traditional Chinese Medicine and as a delicious and nourishing beverage.
It is believed that it was first cultivated in China in the 15th century BC where it was revered by poets and artists. Chrysanthemums were a symbol of nobility and integrity.
As a herbal tea, it was first brewed and popularized during the Song Dynasty (960 AD - 1279 AD) and for centuries it was used to treat respiratory issues, blood pressure irregularities and to calm the nerves.
Chrysanthemum is packed with vitamins A, B, C and K, beta-carotene, calcium, fiber, iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, sodium, zinc, amino acids, and glycosides.
This blend of components makes this beverage not only tasty, but delightfully good for you as well, and you may drink it to reap a number of benefits.
The name of this orchid is: Mini Phalaenopsis
Suitable place for cultivation: A half shade place (indirect shade) is recommended, as direct exposure to the sun can cause burns on its leaves. So, the best time is the morning sun.
Watering: once a week; always letting the water drain well, because the excess of it in its roots can help to kill it (rotting). The orchid, in general, resists the lack of water well, more than the excess. For this reason, gravel is placed in its vessels, Styrofoam, to have this easy flow.
Never place dishes or anything that could block the water from flowing out of the pot.
Flowering: from one to three times a year, this will depend on the adaptation to the place where you will stay.
Pruning: it is recommended to cut the stem of the orchid. One tip is to cut above the second little one, so you preserve the plant. This makes all the difference to help it bloom again, as they say that this pruning helps the plant not to send nutrients to the place that is already "dead", thus failing to nourish other healthy parts.
Fertilization: The famous 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 = NPK formula (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), should be applied biweekly or monthly. The proportion of fertilizer must be as indicated on the label. It is usually 1 teaspoon of coffee for every liter of water.
In the autumn and winter months, fertilization can be suspended.
If you do not want to stay with your orchid in the plastic vase in which it comes, you can easily fix it to tree trunks, wrapping your roots with coconut fiber or moss and fixing with a resistant band.
Coloring: different colors: white, yellow, burgundy, lilac, baby pink, greenish, pink, streaks and orange.
Of course, the special Easy Lith Fomatone adjustment can also be used for all other lith-capable papers. However, the higher content of slowing potassium bromide leads to considerably longer exposure times for papers that require little or no restrainer.
One such paper is the Record Rapid. However, the longer exposure time does not result in a significantly more intense colour, as is the case with many other papers.
I helped a little here by taking a second bath with 10ml each of NH4Cl and Lith B in 1 litre of water.
In late afternoon light, especially during the winter months, the Painted Hills brighten and show off their variegated colors. Several elements contribute to these bands of compacted volcanic ash - Aluminum, Silicon, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Sodium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Titanium, Potassium, Oxygen, and Hydrogen. If in Oregon, the drive over the Ochoco Mountains to visit these ancient hills will reward you.

The first signs of Spring over here at last, with some dandelions making an appearance. Thought I'd do some googling and, as always, nature amazes me. Did you know every part of a dandelion is edible? The flowers, leaves, roots have all been used in salads, teas & wines. Dandelion greens are packed with vitamins A, C, K, calcium, iron & potassium. Who knew! Well, apparently lots of people, they've been used for centuries in Chinese, Middle eastern & European herbal medicine.
They are great little travellers too - their seeds have tiny parachutes that lets them float for up to 8 kilometres.
I saw a couple of sayings - "Little suns by day, little moons by night" and "Sometimes the simplest things carry the most magic". Both seem so true!
Have a great week and thanks as always for any comments, they are always appreciated!

Fenchel
Bereits im Mittelalter wurde er als Heilpflanze sehr geschätzt und in Klöstergärten angebaut. Pflanze wird bis zu zwei Meter hoch und bildet gelbe Früchte aus. Die knollenähnliche Zwiebel, die zum Kochen verwendet wird, wiegt zwischen 250 und 400 Gramm und ist weiß-grünlich. Fenchel ist sehr kalorienarm und enthält eine Reihe an wichtigen Nährstoffen. z. B. die Mineralstoffe Kalzium, Kalium, Magnesium und Eisen. Doch auch die Vitamine A, C und Folsäure zählen zu den Inhaltsstoffen des Fenchels. Seinen typischen Anis-Geschmack bekommt der Fenchel durch das enthaltene ätherische Öl. Fenchelfrüchte enthalten viel Öl das verdauungsfördernd und krampflösend wirkt.
Fenchel kann wunderbar als gegartes Gemüse oder roh für Salat verwendet werden und schmeckt lecker.
Angeblich verfügt der Fenchel auch über magische Wirkung, als Kranz um den Hals oder in Türrahmen und Schlüssellöcher gesteckt soll vor bösen Mächten schützen.
Fennel
As early as the Middle Ages, it was highly valued as a medicinal plant and cultivated in monastery gardens. Plant grows up to two meters high and forms yellow fruits. The bulbous onion used for cooking weighs between 250 and 400 grams and is white-greenish. Fennel is very low in calories and contains a number of important nutrients. e.g. B. the minerals calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron. But vitamins A, C and folic acid are also among the ingredients of fennel. The fennel gets its typical anise taste from the essential oil it contains. Fennel fruits contain a lot of oil that promotes digestion and has an antispasmodic effect.
Fennel can be used wonderfully as a cooked vegetable or raw in a salad and tastes delicious.
The fennel is also said to have magical effects, as a wreath around the neck or stuck in door frames and keyholes to protect against evil forces.
Cowbridge Physic Garden, South Wales, they will be sold by the volunteer gardeners.

Ce petit fruit lové dans une délicate cage orne régulièrement les plus belles pâtisseries. Et l'on se demande toujours : est-ce qu'il se mange ? Oui, bien sûr, on peut le consommer, et en plus il cache sous son calice de véritables bienfaits nutritionnels.
Baie des Incas », « amour en cage », « coqueret du Pérou », « cerise de terre », « cerise d'hiver », « lanterne chinoise »... : les surnoms du physalis sont presque aussi nombreux que les variétés qui poussent de par le monde : en Afrique du Sud, à Madagascar, en France ou dans les Andes, sa région de prédilection. Bien qu'il ressemble à une cerise ou à une baie, le physalis est en réalité un cousin de la tomate, appartenant comme elle à la famille des solanacées. Sur les étals, on trouve celui du -Pérou, de couleur dorée ; le physalis à goût de prune, un peu plus petit ; et le mexicain ou « tomatillo », dont le fruit violet veiné de vert est acidulé. Ils affichent un faible apport calorique (53 Cal/100 g en moyenne, soit 2 à 3 Cal par fruit), pour un maximum de saveur.
Dans la pharmacopée traditionnelle, le physalis est surtout reconnu pour ses propriétés diurétiques, qu'il doit à ses alcaloïdes et à sa teneur en potassium (155 mg/100 g). « En thérapeutique, il est principalement utilisé pour son action diurétique et dépurative. En favorisant l'élimination de l'acide urique, il peut être intéressant en cas de rhumatismes, de goutte, de calculs rénaux, de rétention d'eau. On peut alors le prendre seul, frais ou en décoction de baies séchées », explique Frédérique Laurent, naturopathe. Quelques physalis frais ou une petite poignée de fruits séchés (« aguaymanto ») après une séance de sport aident, avec une bonne hydratation, à éliminer les déchets produits par les muscles pendant l'effort.
En association avec différentes plantes, il peut être recommandé pour ses autres propriétés : « Pour stimuler la vésicule biliaire avec l'artichaut ou le radis noir ; contre les spasmes intestinaux, avec la mélisse, le romarin ou l'angélique ; pour renforcer l'immunité, en duo avec la spiruline ou la propolis », précise la naturopathe. Il renferme également du bêtacarotène, ou provitamine A (432 µg/100 g), un antioxydant bénéfique pour la peau, la vue et les os. Enfin, « l'un de ses composés, la physaline, aurait des propriétés anti-inflammatoires », ajoute l'expert. Les recherches doivent toutefois se poursuivre pour percer les secrets de ce fruit méconnu.

Kiwifruit is a rich source of vitamin C, 1.5 times the DRI scale in the US. Its potassium content by weight is slightly less than that of a banana. It also contains vitamins A and E. The skin is a good source of flavonoid antioxidants. The kiwifruit seed oil contains on average 62% alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. Usually a medium size kiwifruit contains about 46 kilocalories, 0.3 g fats, 1 g proteins, 11 g carbohydrates, 75 mg vitamins and 2.6 g dietary fiber.
