Flowers, existing long before humanity, have always captivated with their beauty and symbolism. In India, a vast array of flowering plants flourishes, both indigenous and exotic, thriving in diverse environments. From the snow-covered Himalayas to the sun-drenched plains of Rajasthan, from the rain-soaked hills of Assam to the coastal shores of Kanyakumari, the ecological diversity of India provides a hospitable habitat for almost every type of flowering plant.
This ecological richness allows flowering plants to spread across the Indian landscape, gracing plains and hills, adorning high banks and trellises, clinging to walls and hedges, festooning fences, and ascending trees. Even the lofty heights of the Himalayas are adorned with the vibrant colors of blooming flowers. The presence of these flowers has inspired awe and wonder in humans, leading to artistic expressions and philosophical contemplations on the nature of life itself.
