Lajalu (Marathi: लाजाळू) has been identified in ayurveda as Mimosa pudica, which folds itself when touched and spreads its leaves once again after a while.

It is said to have a bitter and astringent taste, and stops bleeding and speeds healing. It is used for diarrhea (athisaara), Amoebic dysentery (raktaatisaara), bleeding piles, gynecological disorders, skin diseases, bronchitis, general weakness and impotence.

Most commonly used part is the root, but leaves, flowers, bark, and fruit can also be implemented.

I didn't take this photo, but I did find this specimen. I'd never seen one before, but recognized it from the book.

Flowers in my garden

I'm a bit behind with posting these - when I took these there was actually some sunshine around!

Read all about it at www.clevercakestudio.com/2008/05/19/bleeding-armadillo/

I'm no longer updating this gallery. I've moved my cake gallery to CleverCakeStudio.com (the Flickr username is also CleverCakeStudio)

Please come visit the new collection!

Spring is having such a hard time staying, but she has visited long enough to bring out the bleeding hearts. These were calling to me and I couldn't resist the beckoning.

Proper name is 'Lamprocapnas spectabilis'. Also known as 'Old fashioned bleeding heart', 'Venus's Car', 'Lady in a bath' and 'Dutchman's trousers'!

It's a popular ornamental plant for gardens with temperate climates and is also used by florists for Valentines Day.

It wouldn't be spring without at least one post of Bleeding hearts in bloom. These flowers, in the poppy family, have the very formal sounding scientific name of Lamprocapnos spectabilis . I get the last name, they are a spectacle aren't they?

I seem to be taking far too many photos recently in low light and ending up with images that are not as sharp as I'd like. Not the most photogenic background, either : ) Seen on a recent walk in North Glenmore Park, growing through the fence of someone's garden that backs on to the park.

Just off to help record all plants, birds, insects, etc. at the Priddis Greens Golf Course, south west of the city. Back later.
