2nd contest "Steemit Weekly" - Breathtaking flora | Nomination from @mayureshpandit| Butt Mogra

🙏Namaste Friends🙏,
👏Welcome to my contest entry post.👏

I hope all are doing well. Today I liked to share some information about my flower farming. In our fields we are doing farming of Butt Mogra flower. In the Indian market, Butt Mogra flower has huge demand. It is widely known because of its fragrance. Indian women like to wear Gajara of this flower. Gajra is natural jewelry and women like to wear it in their hair. Apart from Gajara Butt Mogra flower is used to make perfumes and attar. Attar is an Indian perfume that comes in small bottles. To sell in the market we need the Butt Mogra bud-like in the below picture

We collect buds by hand which is very hectic work. because we have more than 3000 trees of mogra and collecting the mogra bud by reaching each and every tree quite hard working. For this work, we are calling the daily wages worker. After collecting the buds we stored them in the refrigerator so they stay fresh. Half of the buds go into the flower market where the shop keepers use them to make mogra and half of the buds taken by a company that makes attar from these mogra buds. In the commercial market only the value of these flower buds once these buds become a flower no one wants to buy them.

Because mogra buds have more fragrance than their flowers and for per kg, we are getting a rate of 600 Rupees which is quite around 8 or 9 dollars per kg.
