Flowers are the most beautiful temptation in the world

If you are a girl, there are slim chances that you will like any flower beside Red roses.

It's a classic thing afterall.

Red roses in the form a Gajras is the one example that girls like.

But today i wanna share flowers in many colours but red.

It is the habit of my father to bring vibrant flowers for our house every spring.

They bloom to their fullest during the season of renewal, in the presence of mild wind and moderate Sunlight.

However, their lifespan is only 1-2 weeks and they shrink after that and your world shrinks too:(

Never did i imagine to see daisy like flowers in one place at a time.

It happened when i visited my aunt in May and went to a Golf city.

The place was beautiful but i found flowers mesmerizing only.

They were so beautiful, made me smile, and i simply couldn't resist them.

Nature is so beautiful, isn't it?

Let's discuss them.

These flowers usually belong to family Asteraceae, ancestors of daisy, sunflowers and Aster flowers.

These flowers are not to be confused with daisies.

This white flower is the purest form of beauty which symbolises innocence and New beginnings.

They are classic flowers, attract butterflies and bees for pollination.

Another one is pink daisy like flower, known as Gerbera daisy. These flowers are native to South Africa, South America, and Asia.

These flowers smybolise vibrancy and cheerfulness. They got my attention first among all the flowers there.

Pink colour is also women's favourite usually, they want everything pink, then why not these adorable flowers?

Purple flowers are cape or African daisy, native to Africa.

They have central disc encircled by multi-Colored petals. Due to their vibrancy they are planted in parks to grab the attention of people.

Though they don't have long stem but they can still be used to make bouquet.

These flowers need sunlight to flourish but they tend to avoid it in the afternoon. Morning sunlight is beneficial for their growth.

So they must be kept in the right angle in your house where afternoon sunlight don't reach much.

My father once brought purple daisy aka purple Asters and i instantly fell for it. Just look at them giving surreal looks.

However, it only bloomed for a few days, poor soul, and left me to never find any flower as fascinating as it was.

Lastly, i want to share a sunflower i captured early in the morning, on a walk.
Sun was rising but it was still in shade and let me tell you an interesting fact about Sun flowers, they are heliotropic.

Heliotropism, a form of tropism, is the diurnal or seasonal motion of plant parts (flowers or leaves) in response to the direction of the Sun.

They face their heads wherever the Sun is. In the morning their heads are towards east and slowly turn towards west where the Sun sets.

They repeat their movement and in the morning their faces are towards east again waiting for the Sun to rise.

However, when there is no sunlight, they face each other and make other flowers their sunshine, cute, isn't it?
