    Hydrangea

    20210728_111910.jpg
    We called this flower as "thun mass mala (තුන්මස් මල) in sinhala. It can see in many colours like purple, blue , white and pink.

    white calla lily

    20210728_111543.jpg

    It is a broad , trumpet shaped flower.These flowers are commonly used in bridal bouquets and funeral arrangements.

    Mustard flowers(අබ මල්)

    20210728_111653.jpg

    They are tiny yellow flowers.

    I capured these flowers ,when I went to Nuwara Eliya.

    red and white Hydrangea flowers look gorgeous. is it from your garden? this is first time I am seen this color combination

    nope.I captured these pictures when I went to Nuwara Eliya🤗

    Hey, @hash96. All the pictures you shared are magnificent. I love all of them.

    Euphorbia flower

    This flower has many blooms that are dark red. This flower is also able to withstand direct sunlight. The stem of this flower consists of sharp thorns. Very good if we take care of it in a flower pot / place. To bring out the beauty.


    IMG20210419165114-01.jpeg
    Flower Roses

    The beauty of roses can also emit a fragrance when smelled. Roses are my special friends at home.


    IMG20210404100441-01.jpeg
    Hanging Flower

    This flower is very different from the others. This flower can live hanging and has a shape like a wasp/bee nest. This flower is very unique in terms of shape.
    All of these plants grow in aceh.

    THANK YOU

    Wow the hanging flower is awesome....!

    Thank you

    we had Euphorbia but we removed it because people were saying their thorns cause cancers

    Handing flowers looks great

    I just heard that euphorbia becomes poison, is it a reality

    We have lots of hydrangea in our office garden. But all of them are small in size. But in your picture I saw the flower is quite big in diameter.

    Anyway, It's good to see your plants. I love plants as well either fruit or flower. Glad to see some plant lovers in this platform.

    yes, thank you, you are a flower lover too...
    Maybe the flower lacks care, so it's small, or indeed the shape is so small that the smaller size is more attractive

    Thank you for sharing beautiful flowers. Euphorbia is beautiful. I also like roses 😁.

    thank you.. we both love flowers.😊

    wow, the third one is so amazingly beautiful.

    thanks😊

    We also do have a wide variety of colours of Euphorbia flower but Euphorbia is labelled as “poisonous” and a “skin and eye irritant” plant. But it is a very beautiful one. Your flowers are well grown too.🌸 🌷🌸 🌷
    Good luck.

    I also thought so before, euphorbia flowers are poisonous with sharp thorns, we once made this flower drift into the river. but somehow our village returned this. but now it's different this flower is no longer poisonous or irritating and so on. I always take care of it in a bottle

    Thank yuo

    We have a small plant of hanging flower in our garden and it will become a circle bush like your one in future 😍

    It doesn't happen if we keep caring for it and always cleanses. My old flower will repeat it again. our unique hanging flowers often take care of and so on 😊

    Purple flower

    20210804_202420.jpg
    I capture this, we had a big purple tree in our house that had fallen in my garden, so when it was rip, a lot of these flowers fell to the ground and turned pink under the tree.

    Kandy dance

    20210804_202409.jpg

    It has this name, because it has the shape of a kandy dancer, that is what i have heard. actually this is the same. very beautiful when the bunch is full of flowers.

    Bovitiya flower

    20210805_082252.jpg

    It comes two colours, purple and white. among them, white bovitia is used for medicine. i capture this also in my garden.

    Thank you!❤

    The flower you call purple flower, is it a rose apple flower? or do you know the original name?
    when we look Kandyan dancer more closer it really looks like that dancer. Purple color of Bovitiya is flower of our province 😁. but never seen that white one.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Yes dr, that is also like rose apple. but not same. it call as 'ratajambu' in sinhala and that is the flower of this fruit. purple flower is the name what I heard for this flower. I got a picture of that fruit also, but now it is missing from my phone.

    it call as 'ratajambu' in sinhala

    They are called bell fruit or red rose apple in English.

    Oh.. really. thank you for letting me know 😘I really did not know exactly.

    hoooo!! what a beautiful day with these beautiful bloomed flowery. I thought the first one is african daisy.

    😍 It's a beautiful flower. but it called as purple flower what I heard.

    Sudu pata bovitiya dakkamai man

    Api laga a pata dekama thiyanawa. sudu eka thmi mal godak pipunama lassana.

    I think this is the first time that I see a white bowitiya flower. 😍

    We have both two colours in our garden. the white one is very beautiful when, full of flowers.

    After a long, I saw White coloured Bovitiya. In Dry Zone, Bovitiya is not a commonly seen plant. I think Kandy dancer is species of Orchids but we have a different coloured one not attractive as your one. Yellow bunch is marvellous. Actually the first time I saw this type of purple flower. Nice click. Good luck.💐 🌸 🌷

    Thank you for your appriciation.😍
    Yes, that white bovitiya is rarity.
    That kandy dance is actually very beautiful in bloom in yellow colour.

    Wow😍 is there are white colour in Bovitiya flower??? I've never seen and heard that before...

    Peace Lily
    Derived from it's name, it's white color really represents peace. I just found it in my uncles' garden.
    IMG_20210709_071519.jpg

    It's different, the flowers are like fruit shape. Very beautiful like an ornamental plant

    yeah, I agree, but that's what they called it maulidar.

    I just saw this on the roadside while walking home

    We also had this. but name is still unknown 🙊.
    second one looks like a chrysanthemum flower. leaf also looks like that plant.

    Eka kukulu karamal aneeee

    ape gedara rathu pata tiyenawa.. eth mita wada lokuwata hadenawa nh eka.

    The first one, I just saw it in the roadside of the mountain, and catches my attention, it is really beautiful and unique, the second, I saw it in the forest near my hometown. The third one, it's name is really peace lily.

    Anyway.. they look beautiful.

    The first one is called "cockscomb" 🐔️🐔️🐔️🐔️🐔️ it is exactly like cock's comb.

    hehe I think you got it right randula, since there's a lot species of cocks comb also, But it's like having feathers in person.

    Yeah... 😹 exactly cockscomb is the most suitable name for that....😬
