Whether you agree with me or not, I think my participation in various challenges in Virily has provided various benefits. At least, the various challenges that have managed to pull me out of my comfort zone or out of focus are only on what I am interested in.
If lately I contribute to a variety of weekly or thematic challenges that are basically photography-based, all those challenges have made me more active in finding various photo objects, capturing the most unique or most beautiful moments, also challenging me to think or look for writing material as a companion from the photos are interesting to post. Indeed I liked photography but actually I was more interested in painting, and actually the percentage of my posts with the basis of photographic images as far beyond my paintings.
Apart from my main interest in esoteric matters, spirituality, mysticism, Sufism, or philosophy, sometimes I feel curious about what I find outside, like creatures or plants that I have never seen before.
Something like that also happened when I found this plant, which I had actually seen before, although it was rare, I did not know its name. I have tried to find out from some people I know who are quite close to nature or also through searching on the internet but I still have not managed to find the name and other things about this plant.
This plant is a small plant with softwood trunk which is about 60 centimeters tall. The fruit looks very attractive bright red with a size of less than one centimeter.
This kind of curiosity is what I describe as other benefits of various challenges in Virily that continue to “force” me to learn and find out about something. And that is very fun!

I see this plant for the first time. I fully agree with you about the challenges. These challenges make sure our brains do not “sleep”
You are one of the best contributing challenges here, dear friend.
I have not seen these plants … I personally learn a lot … some posts are interesting
Yes, dear friend. I think it’s a tropical plant, but I don’t know its name.
And, yes, we really learn a lot from each other here.
I can not believe my friend does not know the name of the plant
That’s the real thing, dear friend, and I’m still searching for it.
I’m sure you will find her name … you will not be resting before
Try cropping the picture to focus on the berry/flowering part of the plant then copy paste it to Google and see if that will yield any result.
Interesting advice, but I don’t know how to do it! You have to explain it in more detail or I will be cerewet too!
Mr. Google said:
Google’s reverse image search is a breeze on a desktop computer. Go to images.google.com, click the camera icon (), and either paste in the URL for an image you’ve seen online, upload an image from your hard drive, or drag an image from another window.
No harm in trying. If it works then you learn a new trick. If not, then you learn that the trick will not work. Either way, you learn. ??
Yeah! I am so excited to try this new trick! Thank you, and yes, even though it didn’t work to find what I was looking for, but it was still fun!
Indeed, cerewet isn’t for me!
I fully support everyone joining challenges! It is fun seeing Virily change colors every week!
Comfort is an interesting thing, there is more to unpack from that bag that I have time to answer in a comment.
suffice it to say, for me blogging is a connection, mostly to the past and to technology. I have to start a family history challenge eventually!
I think, all the challenges that are here give us the opportunity to post more and more often than just relying on certain ideas from certain categories, such as travel, automotive, architecture, etc. unless we do have certain reasons such as wanting to maintain style, time constraints, interests, and so on.
If you want to initiate a new challenge, I see no reason not to do it, Doc. So why not?
It would be the time I have for the challenge, I will have more time in April. My goal is to launch the challenge then!
Hopefully, it will be enough time for me to gather a little of family documentation…
I promise to give a lot of warning before I launch!
I love this small red flower. Sometimes its the little things that count most
I checked the plant again this afternoon, and in fact, those red fruits were no more than 2 millimeters in size, and there were so many!
I like the part where you mention to get out of the comfort zone and see other works from other bloggers on this site.
I had to get out of my comfort zone to take photographic images and write according to the thematic images shown, and that was quite challenging.
That is a good thing since I need to get away from the comfort zone and find new ideas for my fan fictions.
I am very sure that you can do it, Dee.
It is a good idea to see what other writers are writing on their fan fiction stories.
We all here at Virily can inspire one another to more creative in many ways. Some have taught me about how nature can heal the mind. Many lesson to try to understand here.
Yep! I totally agree with you, LaJenna.
I think I lied on the first question. We do have here in North America a same type looking bud and red berry. The name of our type of plant escapes me for now but I am pretty sure it is not the same as yours because ours starts only in mid summer till early fall. As for the challenges, I have not participated in any because my photographic skills are nil and we still have a large amount of snow so no buds coming out as of now. But these challenges give me the opportunity to admire, learn and comment so there are a little more virils in my account (whoopy). If ever you learn the name of this cute bright red fruit?, please drop us a line…
I am quite happy to know that there are friends in other parts of the world who have ever seen this plant too, dear friend.
I think, if you want to participate in the challenge here, photography skills are not a problem because generally we are all here amateur photographers. And yes, I have also learned a lot from all the challenges here.
I will continue to find out about this plant, and hopefully I will find the answer.
A beautiful plant. And yes the challenges often motivate me to post about something different.
The plant is indeed unique and makes me curious!
Yes, I think we have indeed been motivated by the various challenges here, Carol.
Yes now if the site will fully cooperate we will be fine. 🙂
Now you have my big smile.
