Red Catharanthus roseus - Photography

in #nature6 years ago

These flowers are commonly known as madagascar periwinkle and it's popular in asia, specially here in the philippines. Like i can see it everywhere.

It is native and endemic to Madagascar, but grown elsewhere as an ornamental and medicinal plant, a source of the drugs vincristine and vinblastine, used to treat cancer.

@awesomenyl this is great news if actually this flower is used in the treatment of cancer. One thing I have noticed is that everything from natural has its unique usefulness. Thanks for sharing this information because I now know that this flower can be used in the treatment of cancer.
