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.           |

I wish you a Happy and prosperous New Year too, dear Shartaun. The Village is known as the kingdom of the Water Lilies. Water lilies are tasty vegetables. I like to eat these particular vegetables. Very tasty and fibrous too. Please don't be surprised if I say that fibers extracted from water lilies are used for making home textiles. It has multiple uses in our lives. Take care. Be safe.

Thank you so much for your suggestions, Bret. I appreciate. I have noted your instructions for compliance whenever I feel like it. I feel sad learning that you are not keeping well. Please avoid staying awake late in the night until you are fully recovered. My regards to you and Alex. I shall be waiting to read your blog on eating Cat Tails. Take Care. Have a wonderful and joyous 2023.

Karin, Delighted to read your comments here. Water Lilies look amazing in the morning when they are in full bloom. I used to visit this kingdom of water Lilies very often when I lived in my hometown long before. 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.
