Bloodflower Asclepias curassavica. Taken in a beautiful shop in Cumanacoa - Venezuela
This type of flower is very interesting because it tends to attract many beautiful butterflies to our garden since they are one of its favorite foods and super attractive due to the colors that they show purple, yellow, red, and orange.
It is very common in South America, however, it is considered an exotic species in Rolleston, Queensland, Australia.
When I first saw it, I did not know that it is used naturally, to fix decay teeth, chipped teeth, its latex serves as a pain reliever, has a marked purging effect, and even warns that ingestion can poison, consider it poisonous.

One last super important fact:
If you are in the field and a snake or snake bites you, you can rub this flower on the injured part. They also recommend it in scorpion or gum fly bites. And for scratches and buried spines, latex is used on the affected part.
Bye, kisses
