- News! I’m now on Instagram and will be posting short videos and photos while I’m in the process of making my longer videos: find me at: blanche.derby
Rose of Sharon ("Hibiscus syriacus" ) shrubs are popular in many suburban neighborhoods. Few are aware what can be done with the edible leaves and flowers of these natives of Asia.
So happy to get this notification today that you had posted! I have Rose of Sharon, and I never knew this! TY for sharing another great video, I always learn something new from you or have a review on something I know about. Take care.
Yes, it does take me awhile to make these videos. Thank you for following my posts; I appreciate your support.
What an insightful and fun video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤
I'm pleased you like it!
I read that in school, too. I love the mallow family, in all its diversity. The 'mauve en arbre' or althéa, as it's known here in France, is a very popular garden plant. I'll have to share the tip on using the seeds with my friends who have them - I hadn't thought of trying that before, but since the common mallows are prized for their 'cheese' seeds, why not?
The mallows are unusual and intriguing group of plants. I like the name "mauve en arbre"-such a lovely description...
Thanks for even more ideas on using my 42 bushes. Very nutritious and medicinal value. FREE for me.
I dry all my leaves by tossing them in a paper bag. I use them throughout the winter in infusions as apposed to tea.
I collect the flowers and dehydrate them and powder. They are a thickener for cooking while adding more nutrients to food. Nutty taste to me.
I can make Vinegar also. The flowers are gelatinous, which creates a nicer slip for cream rinse for my hair.
42 bushes!?!! They must be a glorious sight when they bloom.
I like you idea of drying the leaves and the flowers and making vinegar-wow-this one plant has so many uses...
it's funny you mentioned using flowers as a hair rinse. I was going to include in this video my use of the flowers and leaves to rinse my hair. I had clips ready to go but then thought that it was too way out to include so I didn't. My hair is quite long so it was difficult to get even covering but it did work; probably it would be much easier for someone with. short hair.
Glad to c u r back, I hope all is well with u and your family! It has been a crazy few years! I hope u will eventually also mention the health benefits of plants as well as the edible facts. I enjoy your recopies. Thanks for another wonderful video!
Yes I'm fine--Shooting/editing these videos takes a long time. That's why I'm on Instagram (blanche.derby) so I can include short, raw footage of plants-- there's not so much wait time as there is for my RUclips posts.
Often in passing I'll mention a few health benefits of plants but I'm not a nutritionist or herbalist and there are many others on RUclips whose knowledge of this topic is so much more extensive than mine. I feel that just eating the wild or cultivated plants from a local garden is a healthy process-- this food can be your medicine! These plants are fresh, not trucked 100s of miles to a supermarket shelf where they can stay for days...
Huh? Why are lines drawn at the beginning of my response????!! I didn't do that--the whole post is meant to be read!
This shrub is also properly called Althea. It's extremely winter-hardy, unlike it's close tropical relative Hibiscus. All parts of the plant are edible. Very nice video!
it probably has several common names--which may indicates its many uses...
@@thederb720 Love ya, Blanche. You're a very good presenter.
Thank you so much for the things you share with us, it is much appreciated! ❤
i feel it's important to do this and to reach many people -- who often have wisdom to share about the their uses of the plants I feature.
So cool, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed my post.
I've eaten thevflowers of tropical hibiscus before, and I enjoy drinking hibiscus tea. I must try these now. I have two growing outside.
They're flowering everywhere now--a good time to try some.
It just amazes me how you find a song about each plant, Even this one! 4:00 That's Incredible! They're like Hibiscus Brossle Sprouts. Can you also eat Green fruit pod like okra?
I would love to see a Video about Okra done in the same style too. (And all the Other Domesticated Crops like Melons, Squash, Peppers, Beans, Corn, Spinach, Beets/Swisschard, Mustard, etc.)
Hmmmm... some food for thought!
I usually don't concentrate on plants that people already know a lot about as there are already many many videos about them...but maybe if i can find a way to combine them with other lesser known plants....
@@thederb720 Yea but no one on RUclips goes into great detail like you. I mean you did a fantastic job with Gadren Nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) which aren't super common as a wild edible, more of a Recent Garden Escape. Regardless of what you choose to do, I'm happy cuz every video is good!
💮 I think those Hibiscus called "Shoe Flowers" can be cooked in tempura batter just like pumpkin and zucchini marrow flowers can. It should work with Rose of Sharon as well? 😋
yes, try it--I will; it's always good to learn new ways of using an already useful plant.
