What happens when you cross Cream and Lavender?

runfelsia isola - Lavender Lady of the Night

💜 What happens when you cross Cream and Lavender?

 The flowers of this rare hybrid that we mentioned earlier, Brunfelsia isola, or Lavender Lady of the Night, are a "marble" twist of cream and purple, changing hue unpredictably. They are deliciously fragrant at night.

Brunfelsia isola is an unusual cross between B. americana and B. grandiflora. What a genetical surprise!

Brunfelsia isola has the benefit of fragrant cream-colored brunfelsia and light purple color from the other parent. 👫

💎 A gem for a rare plant collection of #Nature_Wonders!

Researchers discover what a perfume from Ancient Rome was made of: Patchouli!

🧑 Researchers discover what a perfume from Ancient Rome was made of: Patchouli!
  • ⚡️ A research team at the University of Cordoba has identified the composition of a Roman perfume more than 2,000 years old thanks to the discovery of a small vessel of ointment in Carmona, Spain.
  • ⚡️ The mausoleum held the remains of six individuals in six urns, one of which was made of glass and contained the remains of a woman who died between 30 and 40 years of age. Her cloth bag held a rock crystal flask sealed with a stone and bitumen and three amber beads...
  • ⚡️The well-preserved material inside the flask was examined with X-ray diffraction, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. The study determined that the scent was derived from Pogostemon cablin, a plant from India used to produce the scent Patchouli.
  • ⚡️Patchouli only grows in the tropical climates of southern and southeastern Asia. This means it would have been imported into Roman territory and sold in products crafted for wealthy patrons who craved access to exotic ingredients.
  • ⚡️ The high quality of the flask holding the scent suggests that it was a valuable product.
