Flowers That Bloom in Spring

“ ফাল্গুনে বিকশিত কাঞ্চন ফুল ,

ডালে ডালে পুঞ্জিত আম্রমুকুল ।

চঞ্চল মৌমাছি গুঞ্জরি গায় ,

বেণুবনে মর্মরে দক্ষিণবায় ”

   -রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর

Beli

What we know as Beli is called Arabian Jasmine in English. It’s easy to get lost in its beauty and exceptional fragrance. At night, a bunch of three to twelve flowers blooms at the same time. However, the coming morning, the fragrance of the flower spreads all over the place – and that’s not the only thing they do! Many companies cultivate Beli flowers for making perfumes and tea. Other than that, people use Beli flowers for Holud ceremonies and for ages, they have been using them on various occasions as hair accessories.

Sheuli

This flower is popularly known as Night Jasmine. However, some people also refer to it as Coral Jasmine. However, the name Sheuli is very close to our hearts. Its white petals on an orange bud appear to be like a heavenly view. However, they possess a weirdly fascinating trait. In the middle of the night, each flower will bloom fully but as the dawn shows up, the branches start to shed off the flowers. It is hard to realize just how beautiful nature can be without seeing a bed of Sheuli laid down on a road. At the same time, these flowers are major ingredients for Ayurvedic treatment. Hence, popular spring flowers do not only look pretty; they are actually pretty useful as well.
