I actually don't know its name, just know it is a weed. I sometimes notice that it is lovely but my camera cannot get a good photo, yours have nice compositions. If i will post it in the future, now i know where to see the identity, and thanks for that. Maybe also i should taste a leaf later when i go home. That sour fruit Averrhoa bilimbi, has also high oxalic acid, we must be careful as it reacts with the covers or calcium on our teeth.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-44781609052449664562012-05-09T03:07:57.683+08:002012-05-09T03:07:57.683+08:00When I was a child we used to pick off the green s...When I was a child we used to pick off the green seed pods and chew them.
