photos taken by me of my mother-in-law's garden.
According to legend, it tells the story of two beautiful women who wandered through the jungle in search of a boyfriend. In that adventure they met a captivating character, but an evil hunter caught them to make them his wives.
After being tricked, they asked the jungle spirit to turn them into useful plants, and the great spirit agreed to transform them. He turned one with red hair into the shape of an annatto tree, and another, with black hair, into a Wituk tree.
Both plants still exist in the Amazon; With the passage of time and thanks to a rainbow, two young women of exceptional beauty appeared in the Amazon and were considered the guardians of the jungle.
