There are something different on my bilimbi.
I'm finding red-maroon color on that bark.
Wow... my bilimbi is blooming.
That barks are full of flowers.
I have a bilimbi on my front yard.
Bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi) is well known as cucumber tree or tree sorrel.
In Indonesia it's called belimbing wuluh or belimbing asam.
That flowers have a lot of usefulness.
We usually use that flower infusion to reduce cough, gingivitis and thrush.
High vitamin C source...
If we put the red flowers onto the hot-warm water, the soaking water will change into reddish color.
That's red flowers are sought as the ingredients of natural red dye for traditional textiles.
The leaf infusion is a remedy for coughs and is taken after childbirth as a tonic.
Bilimbi leaves decoction is taken to relieve rectal inflammation, rheumatism, high blood pressure and parotitis.

Flowering bark! Amazing! I thought that I had misread and that you meant something besides bark. But your photos proved you were right. Beautiful flower! Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteBilimbi have a few branchs, so the fruits and flowers will emerge from the bark. I hope you will see the fruiting stage forward. So interesting. Thank you for coming
DeleteWelcome Endah!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a plant. In my cold country such egoztyczne trees, plants do not grow. now beginning to fall. Still it's raining, it's cloudy and rather refrigerator 8 degrees Celsius
I admire your wonderful pictures.
I send greetings from a long cold Polish.
