Mimosa pudica

in Nature Observer7 days ago

Nature never ceases to amaze us with its infinite diversity and beauty While some beauty can be seen with the naked eye some beauty has to be deeply appreciated Similarly one afternoon while walking in the lap of nature I suddenly came across the image of a strange and charming tree At that moment I took my camera in my hand and captured the picture each of which revealed a unique form of nature Not many people know the name of this tree Locally it is called the shy vine or the shy vine In English it is known as Mimosa pudica One of the characteristics of this tree is that its leaves immediately curl up when touched as if shrinking in shame This is where its name comes from.

But what stands out in my pictures is not just the sensitivity of the leaves but the strangely beautiful and mysterious form of its flowers and fruits In the picture some fruit like structures are clearly visible, which are surrounded by a fine reddish thorn-like structure This is basically the fruit that contains the seeds of the shy tree These fruits are usually surrounded by thorns so that animals cannot easily eat them In the picture you can see that these fruits and the structure surrounding the thorns extend from different directions giving the tree a different dimension These reddish fruits and thorns are a mesmerizing sight amidst the green leaves It may seem as if nature has created a masterful work of art with its own hands.

The afternoon sun was slightly covered by clouds when these pictures were taken so the light was soft This weather made the colors of nature brighter and more vibrant The leaves and branches on all sides of the tree also blend beautifully in this frame which gave the whole picture a natural perfection This tree is not only famous for its beauty but it also has some medicinal properties. The roots and leaves of this tree are used by the indigenous people and local villagers to prevent various diseases In particular it is used to heal wounds and as a painkiller Although more research is needed on its uses it occupies an important place in folk medicine It is truly a rare experience to find such a natural beauty while walking on an ordinary afternoon There is a hidden message of nature hidden in this tree sometimes expressing shame is also a kind of self defense if you want to protect yourself.

Through the pictures I have not only captured the form of the tree but also captured the silence beauty and depth of nature at that moment Whenever I look at the pictures I feel like I have returned to the soft light of that afternoon and the gentle atmosphere of nature These small wonders of nature bring a little peace in the harsh reality of our lives And so we should preserve this beauty love it and leave it for future generations This tree whose name is Shame not only gives us beauty but also teaches us the techniques of modesty restraint and self defense Therefore it can be seen as not just a tree but also a living lesson of nature If you ever go for a walk in the lap of nature look carefully you may come across some unknown unique and incredibly beautiful plants that are capable of winning not only the eyes but also the mind.
