It's amazing how you captured the process on it blooming @cicisaja. How long did the overall process take? I saw you mentioned something about eating this plant, is it edible? I'm curious to know how does it taste? what is the processed used to cook them? I can go on for days with questions but I will spare you this time lmao.
Thank you @slickhustler007😊 actually I have a video of filming this blooming flower, about 3 hours to full bloom.. but I forgot where I keep the video. I made it in 2017. But for this one.. I used to take a picture in the morning then afternoon before it started. It will start open the petal around 7 pm, indonesian western time and fully bloom around 9.pm and keep it like that till midnight.. start from 1 am it will slowly close its petal.
This is how its looks on 4 am and
And this on 11 am.
Well.. I usually pick it up when it fully bloom and then boiled it for few minutes, drink its water to cure my sore throat, but if you have pollen allergic, it means disaster😊
Other way is to fried it in after dipped it in batter/bread crumbs. Not so tasty but not to slimy, not delicious too.. just like spinach😊 I think there're few research about how to use it as a herbal medicine but I never really knew about it. Too beautiful to eat
