<h2>Flowers of Bangladesh</h2>

The Rose

                          

               

                           Flowers are the special gifts of Nature in Bangladesh. They lend color, smell, beauty and charm to the land. Almost every season in Bangladesh brings in its own wealth of flowers.  

                           There are various kinds of flowers in our country. They are so many that we do not know even the names of them all. They differ in size and colour. Some are large, some are small. Some are white, some are red, some are pink, some are yellow, while some are multi-colored. They are flowers that smell sweet, while some others are scentless. Some flowers are liked for their beauty, while some others are liked for both beauty and scent.

                     The best known flowers of Bangladesh are the rose, the lotus, the marigold, the champa, the jasmin, the tagor, the jui, the bakul, the beli, the chameli, the kamini, the sheuli, etc. The rose was not originally a native of Bangladesh. But it is now largely grown in all parts of the country. It is called the queen of flowers on account of its beauty and scent. It grows on a plant which is thorny. The lotus is well-known for its delicate perfume. The marigold has a bright colour and a strong smell. It decorates and beautifies the homestead during the winter season.

                        The beli, the jui, the chameli, the champa and the gandharaj are all fragrant flowers. The kamini is a very soft flower whose petals fall at the slightest touch. It scatters its fragrance over a vast area. The bakul is another type of well-known flowers, having a delicate scent. The sheuli has a snow-white color. The krishnachura, the kabari and the palash are all scentless and bloom on big trees. All grow in clusters. Kadams also bloom on big trees and they are a special kind of flowers in the rainy season. The sun-flowers of different sizes are found in different places. Winter and spring are the seasons of these flowers. The jaba has different varieties and the aparajita is of different colors. The hasnahena and the rajanigandha give out their fragrance at night. Besides, wild flowers of diverse hues are born in our country to blush unseen.  

                             

                        We love flowers for their beauty and scent. They are the symbols of beauty and purity. We present bouquets of flowers to our beloved persons and we also garland our leaders and visitors when they grace our functions. Bees gather honey from these hives. We get rose water and onto from the petals of roses.

                             Flowers are the most beautiful objects of Nature. So men, women and children of Bangladesh love flowers all alike. Nature has adorned our land with the most charming flowers of the world and has made us lovers of flowers. Such a beautiful land is rare in the world.
