      The local name of this plant is “kaka-poul”. Not sure why this name was given to such a beautiful flower.

    This is the famous Madagascar PERIWINKLE plant Scientific name (Catharanthus roseus) it has many herbal applications but is well known for its use in the treatment of cancer, in particular leukemia.

    Care however should be taken with its use as if it is misused it can be poisonous. Apart from herbal use its active ingredient is also commercially extracted for a potent pharmaceutical cancer fighting drug.

    Very beautiful. I remember my grand mother boiling these flowers to drink when her sugar was up and it did her very well.
