Something about a flower
A flower is a soothing, beautiful sight to our eyes. Here we are talking about flowers that contribute to making our environment beautiful. But some flowers we hear only in the world of literature.
1. Parasatu
This is not the kind of flower we see in the world. This flower species is said to exist in the divine world. The scent of this flower can be felt hundreds of times away. Also, God bless the carnival at the time of flowering of this beautiful tree. God brings these flowers when they come to worship at the shrines associated with the human world.
2. Madara
Madara Malu is also in the divine world. Although it is said that there are Madara trees in some parts of our country, it is possible to think that the book of literature mentions a different kind of flower. Like Parasathu Mal, Madara are two types of flowers that have been able to captivate the hearts of artists in our country due to this. Not only poems and songs, but sometimes even movies have been named after these flowers.
3. Kadupul
Kadupul flowers bloom in our backyards too. Even today, at the Kelani Vihara, which is believed to be the site of snake sacrifices, one can see the Kadupul flowers offered on the morning carcasses on Poya days. There are those who believe that these flowers are the flowers offered by the people of the cobra world.

5. Nazis
here is a wonderful legend about this white and yellow flower that is found along the banks of rivers and lakes in Europe. A young man named Nazis, who is extremely proud of his image, sees his shadow on the water as he leans into a lake to drink water, and is fascinated by it. So the gods made him a flower. It is in this folklore that the state of mind, known in psychology as the Nazism, is named.

7. Sunflower
According to ancient mythology, a woman who fell in love with the sun god died due to the wrath of the sun god. But the sun god who wanted to make his girlfriend immortal has turned the girl into a flower. The sunflower that turns to the area where the sun is, tells the world that its love is eternal. These folk tales are associated with the god Apollo in Greek mythology and the god Indra in Hindu mythology.
