Flower Fiesta

It was a burst of colours and fragrance at the Krishibid Institution in the capital. Roses, marigolds, lilies, gerbera, daisies, tuberoses and gladiolus were all competing each other at the two-day Flower Fest 2016 held there, winning the hearts of the visitors with their unmatched natural beauty. Not a single shade of red, yellow, green, pink, orange was missing and the flowers came in a whole range of shapes, which soothed not only the eyes but tickled senses with sweet and earthly scent. Organised by Bangladesh Flower Society, the festival celebrated both local and foreign flowers, arranged in beautiful banquets. Even the venue was adorned with yellow-orange marigold strings, creating a fairy-tale ambience. Photo: Rashed Shumon
