Flowers of the malunggay tree

After much discussion about the edible fruit of the malunggay tree in an older food entry, I decided to take a photo of the malunggay tree that was visible from our backyard. Well, the flowers were prettier than the fruit and, after a few shots of the malunggay fruit, I started taking photos of the flowers.

When I viewed the photos on my camera’s LCD screen, magnifying to check if they were clear enough for cropping and posting, I was pleasantly surprised to find a butterfly on a bunch of flowers. Lucky shot. :)

    Tried the flowers, tasted ok, but maybe good only as addition to a fresh vegetable salad recipe.
    Got strange looks from 0others around me why I ate flowers.

    Am in this journey now of making my edible flowers salad and wanting to grow the plants. I can start with malunggay, beans, squash, blue ternate….as they are around me now.

    Maybe I need roses, gumamela, marigolds….. Etc

    Thank you for posting this.
