Parts of Plants: The Petals

Continuing our blog saga about parts of the plants that help, today’s focus is petals. Petals are basically altered leaves that surround the procreative parts of flowers. Usually brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract animals that can help pollinate the flower. All of the petals of a flower are called a corolla ; the extra surrounding leaves are called the sepals . When the petals and sepals of a flower look similar they are called tepals. Petals differ in different species, and the number of petals a flower has may tell of the plant's classification. Here are a few eSutras Organics products that prominently have petals as the main ingredient: · eSutras Organics Rose Bath Salt – An amazing and aromatic salt !!

Bark!

Previously I blogged about how great the roots of plants are. They have ayurvedic healing properties and spectacular health benefits that, although accepted and cultivated in the ancient world, the modern world is more concerned with chemical products. I want to give more information about the healing properties of plants. Today’s focus: bark! The bark of certain trees/plants holds many nutrients the roots or flower of the plant don’t have. Not only do we use it for products like spices and other flavorings, medicines, poisons, and cork can be derived from tree bark. Bark has also been used to make cloths, canoes, ropes, even paper. Bark can even be recycled and used as mulch for gardens!

Root Power!

Plants are beautiful, useful parts of our lives. Whether for health reasons, decoration, or just plain eating them we use plants in almost every aspect. We need oxygen in the air we breathe.

All in all we need/love plants. We use every single aspect of the plant, too. One major part we use is the root. The root contains many vitamins the flesh of the plant doesn’t contain.
