A SPRINGTIME SPECIAL … A parakeet welcomes spring by surrounding itself with an abundance of strikingly-coloured krishnachura flowers, known as royal poinciana or flamboyant in English. With this season, comes the blooming of various special flowers – beli, kathgolap, sheuli, shimul and more – adorning the entire country with a fragrant, colourful aura. Photo: Rashed Shumon
