An Unbound Viewing Pleasure! Another two months to go from this date. The villagers will be busy cultivating the Water Lilies for the next Nine months- March to November. The water Lilies become pink-colored when in full bloom. The flowers grow in wetlands. The village is located 60 miles away from the city of Barisal, where I grew up and lived till 1957. The flower is called Shapla locally. The name of the village is Satla. The whole landscape of the village turns into a feast for the eyes when the pink water lilies are in full bloom. The best time to enjoy the breathtaking view of this natural phenomenon is in the early morning. Besides medicinal properties, water lilies are also eaten by humans as tasty vegetables in curries. Those who suffer from skin conditions, liver infections, calcium deficiency, and diabetes benefit from eating water lilies as vegetables. I have forgotten to mention that this flower is our national flower. None of the photos were shot by me. Photos collected. |

Those pictures of the Water Lilies are breathtaking, Anam. I only know the white kind, but never covering such a big area. Are the flowers used as vegetables or the leaves too?

Stay healthy and safe this Year 2023. These flowers grow in a rainbow of colors: pink, red, orange, yellow, purple, and blue. They have two varieties- Tropical Varieties and Hardier Varieties. Water Lilies have multiple uses in our life. The leaves of this flowering plant are not edible. Take care, dear Karin. Have a safe and pleasant 2023.
