Along the trail towards the farm are dense thickets with either cliff or a brook on the side.
It's often tiring, especially on rough terrains, but some wildflowers bloom for passerby to enjoy. Often plants are called weeds when it doesn't give an ornamental, medicinal, culinary, or monetary value.
On the places it grows wild and has no value, but on other parts it's sold as high value specimen.
Like anything, plants go trendy and increase in value then becomes too common it starts to lose value.
It's really good to ask elders who know traditional medicine, some plants may be medicines or food, while similar-looking plants can be poisonous.
One time, I was lucky enough to witness the blooming of a Tambis-like tree, only it doesn't bear large, edible fruits unlike water apples.
It's like a white rain of flowers, fragrant but mild.
There are also flowers that grow on trails, they often attract tiny butterflies.
And there are flowers from old farm crops that managed to grow without care.
There are vines that kill its host too, scary!
Wildfowers adorn the nature in multitude colors and shapes, it grows from shrubs to vines.
Some are known as weeds, some are tagged as invasive. It may not be helpful to humans, but it supply food to insects and other animals.
