Very good detailed analysis of the plant.
I love soapwort so much. It's docile, no stickers or thorns. Grows well in lots of areas. When in bloom, it's so beautiful to look out on a crop of it.
This plant also grows in South Africa and you never get rid of it, but I like it and we call it Bouncing Beth, a small world.
Thank you
fascinating insight into the fine detail of the flower - very interesting medicinal facts revealed on the properties of the flower and I was much enlightening by the information on the use of the soapwort in the Turin Shroud - the mysteries of nature beautifully explained in a very easy manner.
Thank you for sharing this! Wonderful information.
You are very welcome and we hope you enjoy the ones posted since.
I have a plant exactly like it in my yard but not as pink. I always wondered what it was called. The one in my yard does seed in the fall. As you were instructing I paused the video and went to get one to follow along and it's exactly alike except for the pink is not as dark on the flower and the fused narrow tubes don't have reddish tint on them, but otherwise the leaves and inside are the same and I located the ovary and it has the two stiles of stigma. I'm trying to learn about medicinal plants. I think the ones I have smells like pepper. Could mine be a different cultivar?
Thank you for sharing this information. Now how do I get rid of it? It’s taking over 🥺😩
It does creep out alright Jeanne!
Are ye a Scot?
I’m guessing Irish
John is Irish 🇮🇪💚🌱
