Why Water Flowers are More Beautiful? | 5% to SL Charity
<div class="text-justify">

I remember the smell of water flowers like Olu, Manel, Nelum near the Kaluthara Bodhi. I like that smell that I feel near temples together with the fragrance of insane sticks. The sound of waving Bo leaves and the sound of Pirith near the temples. Even thinking about this can take me to another world!

I do not know the reason for liking water flowers than other flowers. They smell more. They are hard to find than other flowers. They are hard to grow. They are hard to pluck. They do not bloom largely at once when we grow them in our homes. These may be the reasons. Our national flower also a water flower! Nil manel in native and Blue water lily in English.

Many water flowers are plucked to offer to Lord Buddha. And there are many that we do not use for that purpose but still beautiful. There is a plant called Japan Jabara which is known as an attacking plant that threatens other water plants and water species by covering water bodies. Still their flowers are beautiful. Or am I the only one who think so?

I had several water flower plants a few times back. They bloomed several times too. But now I do not have one. I had Olu, kumudu, blue manel as I remember. I need to have one again. Someone, please give me a gift with those plants.πŸ˜•

I do not like to separate a flower from its stem, but to look at them. When it comes to a water flower, I can not think of plucking it even to offer Lord Buddha. Offering flowers to Lord Buddha is remembering impermanence itself. Yet I can not do that. I like to see its blooming every day as these flowers do not die within one day. 

How can we handle the ultimate universal truth! After taking a long time to make a bud, after taking a long time to bloom, after being a flower for days, they die like everything else in this world. But my love for those flowers does not last that much easier! 😊🌸
