While I was cleaning the edge of my cocoa plantation, I suddenly managed to find a very beautiful wildflower, in my area this flower is often called the "Chicken Dung" flower. This plant is also quite famous in my area because its leaves can be beneficial for health and are often used as natural herbal medicine. This flower also has a fairly stable population in my area and we can easily find it almost anywhere, it can also grow very quickly even in barren areas. Even though this is a wildflower, there are so many people in my area who are interested in cultivating it, especially this flower also has various types of colors, there are pink, and also white, but the general color is orange. However, this plant has an unpleasant odor especially on the leaves, but the odor will come out if we squeeze the leaves, and the smell is very disturbing. In addition to having beautiful flowers, this plant also has a unique fruit and at first glance looks like a berry, and the fruit can be eaten and has a fairly unique taste, namely sweet and sour.
