How are you all, my friends? This time, I'm going to share some pictures of the purple kencana flower, a plant that grows wild in my area. This wild flower here typically has many benefits, one of which is often used by people in my area as an itch remedy. In rural areas, itching is common, but if the itching persists for a long time, it can be very uncomfortable. Well... To overcome this, people in my area usually use the purple kencana flower to treat itchy skin. They wash the flower thoroughly, then pile it up until it's smooth, and finally, apply it to the itchy area. Furthermore, this flower also has such bright colors that I feel that, even though it grows wild here, it's perfect for growing as an ornamental plant. Okay, friends, that's my short blog post for this time. Below are some pictures of this flower, which I hope you all enjoy. ![IMG-20250818-WA0035.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTYVfBNLZSidehMyEjY71xaNm8rixhqhNRo129Nz9zETx/IMG-20250818-WA0035.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0032.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmToTR5rcCVJccfX6vL4jqNkE5tv72eLT7wAzuB1xzWMf7/IMG-20250818-WA0032.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0030.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTKhtVytf1BCxSR8vAEkVLX1Q7Qe8bWRHoX8Kg1evm7Bk/IMG-20250818-WA0030.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0037.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaTysgsZfc7r2UZ7Mt9RkP9GppZwKnxRfnHJgkbrjmDLR/IMG-20250818-WA0037.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0036.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYLGPsFbNt24YHareKCTEGUbCeQUDPpU83kw9JjGewcpr/IMG-20250818-WA0036.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0033.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYw5rKnbgpayGagFQ4CrVJiHaYJnjZwzTEgv2vyhccaki/IMG-20250818-WA0033.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0031.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRMdRu3f6T8CADKYLaudQus9Wz9qqaXA7Nt6HSk1ufDNw/IMG-20250818-WA0031.jpg) ![IMG-20250818-WA0034.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVV5ypMCUJ72YN1HtTwN4jJc3tQc95BUvZBTjeZYHuJhn/IMG-20250818-WA0034.jpg) ---- ---- Camera used | Handphone | - | - Lens | 64 mp F-stop | Iso speed | ISO Focal length | MM Photography | Genus Ruellia Photographer | @antonydossantos ---- About the author ---- Maulizar Mawardi or better known as @antonydossantos.
