RE: Contest - week 5 - “Share and comment on your image.” Winner week 4
Here in Venezuela there is a plant that I don't know, but I have read that it can be used to make soap and wash clothes.
This thistle plant really catches my attention, as it has thorns, so people who use its soap or medicinal benefits must be very careful.
I loved learning something new today.
Best regards.
Hi, thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment. Here in my country, we also have a plant with the same characteristics as the one you mentioned; it's called lye and it's also used for washing clothes and making soap. I'm so glad you learned something new; it's always a pleasure to share interesting things with others. Thank you so much, see you later!
To be honest, as I mentioned, I don't know the name of that plant here in Venezuela.
Recently, a friend told me that when she couldn't afford to buy soap, she would look for that plant to wash her clothes.
When I have time, I will look up the name and characteristics of the plant.
Best regards.
There is a large family of soap plants. For example the chestnust belongs to it. I used the chestnuts for a very long time. Unfortunately, the trees don't grow everywhere and the nuts are only available during a short period a year.
Hi, you've inspired me to research these plants further. I thought there were only a few soapy ones, but just knowing that the chestnut tree belongs to this family made me curious.
Thank you for your support and for sharing this information.
Blessings.
In my country we only talk about a single plant, there must be more but I think there is one that many people know here.
I think it's called, Soap or "Jaboncillo"

Okay friend, thanks for commenting, have a good day.
I have also read about a plant where they make soap. I even read that during the soap shortage we had, people turned to that plant again. I hope someone brings it to the contest.
It would be interesting to learn more about this plant here in Venezuela.
@napito once told me that she knows about it and I even think she has used it as soap.
Hopefully she will show up and give us more information.
She will be welcome. She are cordially invited to the contest, @napito.
