Flowers have been important to man since ancient times. People love to grow flowers in their home gardens. Botanical Gardens such as Peradeniya and Haggala have a wide range of flowers. Natural rain forests like Sinharaja are also abundant in beautiful flowers.
Flowers are fragrant and they beautify the environment. They appeal to everyone as they brighten every occasion of our lives. We use flowers to express our feelings. They are also used in religious activities.
Flower plants should be looked after well. They should be manured and watered regularly. Precautions must also be taken to protect them from snails and insects.
