Beauty Of Creativity : Balloon vine (Cardiospermum halicacabum)

We often find this plant in the bush, I also wanted to post with some photos that I got, namely balloon vines that are rich in health benefits.

The Vine Balon (Cardiospermum halicacabum) has the characteristics of vines and is classified as an annual plant. The soft leaf tips are three-pronged, and the leaf edges are serrated. From July to September every year, small flowers with a diameter of only about 5 mm will grow from it, and the green fruit will slowly develop in the shape of a balloon.

Cardiospermum halicacabum is a deciduous, woody, perennial vine that is commonly found growing along riverbanks, pastures and woodland edges. It blooms from July to August with small white flowers. Flowers are followed by unusual seed capsules. Thin-shelled, spherical-shaped capsules appear inflated like a balloon. When ripe, these fruits open to disperse black seeds that are spread by wind and water.
