Interesting remarks guys, thanks.

Miraa Miri waa geed miro yaryar oo cas ama guduud ah le, mirahaaso madoow qolofta hoosteeda oo u eeg filfisha.

 

.

Mirihiisa ma cas yihiin ma gaduudan yihiin mise wey madowyihiin mid un ku ekee awoowe :D:D

Abu-Salman;The Gob tree as far as I know doesn't bear honey,only fruit

Also it's leafs are used in the shampoo industry.As for Baharasaf yeah.it's a tree from a foreign shore.As it's name indicates

Bahar(overseas)Saf(Tree)

Gob or jujube's flowers's nectar is used by bees, hence its prized honey (with medicinal qualities, Its flowers turn into fruits).

I remember we used our baxarsaf to flavor our tea.

Aloe vera or dacar is a succulent, not a cacti apparently.

Locals know the properties of each plant; all those scents were incredible though...

Dhirtaba qaar malko ah baa jiriyo lama garaacaan

Dadkuna bir mageyduu leeyahay iyo lama guhaadshaan

~ Xaji Dallaayad (AUN)

 

Hadrawi (in rural Togdheer, Somaliland ehem ehem Uchi :) ) explains what the Xaaji Dallaayad meant by "malko iyo lama garaacaan".

 

 

 

 

 

If you that noble tree was not enough, see the thread below for one or two more...
