Flowers I saw in my village during my Eid vacation. Part-2

Cover.gif

I spent a 2-week vacation at my village Chapri during the last Eid festival in Bangladesh. During this time I did many things and saw many things which I have started to share with you here. Whatever I saw, flowers hold the first position in the field of beauty. I have seen many beautiful flowers which I cannot cover in just one post. So I have decided to make a post as a series. This is the first part where I am posting photos of the flowers with a single photo for each flower. In the next parts, there will be multi photos for a single flower. I do not know all the names of the flowers. I have just used code names for them. If you know their names please tell us. I have used my smartphone Samsung A50S to take all the photos.

Water Lily

Chiplin

Water Hyacinth

Wax Gourd

Lady’s Finger

I am inspired by this post Edible plants and flowers in CAMBODIA by @Sophia_Cambodia . I like to invite my friends to see this post- @Nyainurjanah @Ant_Bad_Yogi @OlgaKlimchik @SholaIB @RosyKohli @Tushar18 @Erik_van_den_Ham

@MukulR thank you for tagging me here. Interesting post. I will share mine soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Water hyacinths seems a little bit different from what I see here. I wonder if they are the same species!

Hi @MukulR one might be the Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) the one in animation.

This one I don’t know it’s name but it is definitely a plant that belongs in the Fabaceae or Leguminosae Family. Also known as the legume, pea, or bean family,

I see you already have the name of the Wax gourd (Benincasa hispida)

Thank you for the nice post! :cowboy_hat_face:

@MukulR Beautiful flowers. Now the Sun Flower at my house is blooming but the flower is too high for me to take a photo. Hahaha. Anyhow thank you for sharing the nice flowers you saw in your area. :slightly_smiling_face:

@Sophia_Cambodia Thanks for liking the post. Yes, the flower of the water hyacinth may look different to you. I think you saw a bigger one? Thanks for your nice comments. Regards

I also saw the name Okra while I was checking in Google Lens @Erik_van_den_Ham I think if you search by Lady Finger Flower you will get the same thing. :grinning: The yellow one looks like a bean flower though but the color is different and it is a wildflower in our country. Thanks for liking the photos. Regards.

@MukulR Okra or Lady Finger in Cambodia is called ពោតបារាំង​ (the French corn) :smile:

Okra is what it’s called here @MukulR if you will find it at a greengrocer.
The plant definitely belongs to the Pea family but it’s a huge family.

I am sure one day will see a post from you on nice sunflowers @Ant_Bad_Yogi . They also look great, although, all flowers look great from my point of view. I have some more flowers which I will cover in my third part. I hope you will like that also. Thanks for your nice comments. Regards.

Thanks for the nice photo of water hyacinth @Sophia_Cambodia This kind of big hyacinth flower is also available in Bangladesh. I have seen many of them in our pond but during winter. I have never seen anyone eat this. Some tribal or other people may eat but I am not sure. Thanks once for your so beautiful photo of the water hyacinth flower. Did you make this delicious food? What is the name of the food? Regards.

You are right @Erik_van_den_Ham . Okra and the Lady Finger is the same thing. If you go to this article on Wikipedia you will see the information. In some countries it is known as Lady Finger and Bangladesh is one of them. Thanks a lot for your nice information on Okra’s belonging to the Pea family. I learn this new thing. Best Regards.

@MukulR hehe, it is Cambodian noodle. Very popular and everyone knows how to do it. It requires a lot of side vegetables to go with it including this flower. One time I had at the market, the French couple was curious that they saw me eating this flower so they asked the seller for a small piece to taste. So I knew that they had no ideas that we eat flowers.

Hi @MukulR thank you for tagging

Flowers always look so beautiful but one thing makes me rarely planting flowers because flowers can’t eat LOL

By the way the flower one with purple color I love it
