LOVERS OF NATURE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY Part 12
~1.7 mins read
Hello, Lovers of Nature
Welcome to another exciting episode of this lovely series, Lovers of nature through photography. In today's part, I will be talking about a common and mostly unappreciated beauty and benefits of a food plant. MAIZE HAIR/CORN SILK is the title of the episode.
Maize hair also known as corn silk is indeed a common and mostly unappreciated part of food plant in the world. Corn silk is the long, colourful, silky thread that grows on corncobs. The brightly coloured hairs grow underneath the husk of a fresh ear of corn. Though the hairs are discarded when the corn is prepared for eating, it has medicinal properties for the human body.
Corn silk is used as a herbal remedy for a variety of illnesses in traditional medicine. The herbal remedy of maize hair is used in traditional Chinese and Native American medicine. A handful of studies indicate that corn silk may reduce inflammation, blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. However, Qualitative data or details regarding the use of corn silk in medicine are limited due to a lack of proper research.
The display picture of today is a true beauty of maize hair. The was taken by me at my parent's little backyard farm. As a kid, I used to try styling the beautifully captivating hairs of corn, playing with it all each time I see one. This particular hair is coloured in yellow, pink, and red, so lovely to stare at. GREEN BEAUTY is also captured in the background of the display picture.

No matter how long it lives, the Greatest Lion will eventually die miserably. That's the world.
At their Peak, they rule, chase other animals, catch, devour, gulp and leave their crumbs for hyenas. But age comes fast.
The old Lion can't hunt, can't kill or defend itself. It roams and roars until it runs out of luck. It will be cornered by the hyenas, nibbled at and eaten alive by them. They won't even let it die before it is dismembered.
Life is short. Power is ephemeral. Physical beauty is short-lived, I have seen it in lions. I have seen it in old people. Everyone who lives long enough will become weak and very vulnerable at some point.
Therefore, let us be humble. Help the sick, the weak, the vulnerable and most importantly never forget that we will leave the stage one day. text of your post here...
