Weekly Macro

This week I chose this beautiful flower, which is actually a weed, but a beauty nonetheless. We acquired it from one of our neighbors (who 'd literally pluck plants out of her garden and stuff them into our hands when we - me and my mom, say, "Oooh! That's beautiful!" Yes, that's the cue for her. No matter what we say, she wouldn't listen. Isn't that sweet?).

Bell Weed - Dipteracanthus prostratus

This flower has this unique texture and it's extra special to me as it's Blue! Give me a bloom that's a shade of blue and I'd snatch it from your hands :D.
Goggling around, I learnt is fact from wikipedia: "Believed to be anticancer against the epidermis of the nasopharynx region and slightly hypoglycemic."
