The beautiful ginger flower
Greetings friends, I hope you are well. The truth is a pleasure to read your posts, and it feels good to have something to share with you too.
I tell you that in my house we have had ginger plants for a long time. It is a plant with very useful properties both in gastronomy and in natural medicine.
By the way, during the strongest stage of the Covid-19 pandemic it became one of the most sought after alternative medicinal plants in my country.
Of course, and as always emphasized, it is not the intention to present this plant as medicinal, we only refer to what is traditionally attributed to it.
(Before using a plant as medicinal consult a specialist)
Its rich aroma, its spicy flavor and its properties make it an almost obligatory plant in the patios of every house.
And a long time ago I started to make some ginger and honey candies that were very good (later we will be making a publication with this content to share it with you too).
But what I want to tell you about this plant is the following: I had never seen the flower on the ginger plant before.
This season, the ginger plant we have at home surprised us with a beautiful flower bud, which changes as the days go by.
First, it exhibited an inconspicuous bud, which for a moment I mistook for a bad formation in some of its leaves, but in 'metamorphosis' style, it was changing and showing some pleasant surprises: some small and delicate yellow petals.
Then, not content with this, it continued to offer more changes. After getting rid of the delicate petals, the large bud began to adopt a beautiful reddish color, which combined with its original green tone, thus playing a contrast that I, in particular, was surprised to see and know this other characteristic of the ginger plant.
Now, not only can I prepare some oriental style dishes, or get relief from certain ailments with the infusions or tea from its roots, or clear my throat with some delicious ginger and honey candies; but I am also delighted with the beauty of this exuberant ginger flower.
I hope these photos I took with my phone were able to capture the best angle so that you too can enjoy part of this spectacle.
Saludos amigos, espero que estén bien. La verdad es un placer leer sus publicaciones, y se siente bien el tener algo que compartir con ustedes también.
Les comento que en mi casa tenemos plantas de jengibre desde hace mucho tiempo. Es una planta con propiedades muy útiles tanto en la gastronomía como en la medicina natural.
Por cierto, durante la etapa más fuerte de la pandemia del Covid-19 se convirtió en una de las plantas alternativas medicinales más buscadas en mi país.
Por supuesto, y como siempre se recalca, no es la intención el presentar a esta planta como medicinal, solo hacemos referencia a lo que tradicionalmente se le atribuye.
(Antes de usar una planta como medicinal consulte a un especialista)
Su rico aroma, su sabor picante y sus propiedades la hacen una planta casi obligatoria en los patios de cada casa.
Y hace mucho tiempo me puse a fabricar unos caramelos de jengibre y miel que quedaron muy buenos (luego estaremos realizando una publicación con este contenido para compartirlo con ustedes también).
Pero lo que deseo comentarles de esta planta es lo siguiente: Yo nunca le había visto la flor a la planta del jengibre.
En esta temporada, la planta de jengibre que tenemos en casa nos sorprendió con una bella flor en forma de capullo, y que va cambiando al pasar los días.
Primero, expuso un capullo poco vistoso, que por un momento confundí con una mal formación en algunas de sus hojas, pero al estilo 'metamorfosis', fue cambiando y mostrando algunas sorpresas agradables: unos pequeños y delicados pétalos de color amarillo.
Luego y no conforme con esto, siguió ofreciendo más cambios. Después de deshacerse de los delicados pétalos, el gran capullo empezó a adoptar un bello color rojizo, el cuál combinó con su tono original verde, jugando así un contraste que a mí, en lo particular, me sorprendió ver y conocer esta otra característica de la planta del jengibre.
Ahora, no solo puedo preparar algunos platos al estilo oriental, u obtener alivio de ciertos males con las infusiones o te de sus raices, o aclarar mi garganta con unos deliciosos caramelos de jengibre y miel; sino que también me deleitó con la belleza de esta exhuberante flor del jengibre.
Espero que estás fotos que tome con mi teléfono hayan podido captar el mejor ángulo para que ustedes también disfruten parte de este espectáculo.
Excelente reseña sobre está hermosa planta.

I think this plant is familiar with me. We have the same plant planted in our garden we called it Insulin plant. As far as I remember, it is helpful for those who has a diabetes.
It was great thing that I was able to read a blog regarding to this plant and how it was perceived by the other country. Love its flower.
