My daily picture – Flower without five petals!?

Named popular “fairy’s flower”, Purple loosestrife (Rachitan in Romanian) is used in cosmetics to treat irritated skin. It is used in the form of masks, made of fresh juice or highly concentrated infusion, 2 tablespoons sour cream and egg white. The mixture is applied to the face and left for 30 minutes to act, then removed with warm water.

Also, research has shown that this little-known plant is in fact a drug that can not be neglected in combating some very dangerous diseases, such as cancer and viral infections, untreated by modern medicine.

This plant grows naturally in marshlands and is now in full bloom. I’ve taken these pictures in Chindia Park.
