We have this type of flower in Thailand as well but I think they contained a really strong smell. 😄

It's fascinating how different cultures use some plants while others consider them weeds. In Australia, they are a beautiful garden plant but and in some areas are an invasive pest weed. That isn't going to stop me using some for medicinal purposes now you have shared that info.
