Spiral Ginger

in Nature Observer9 days ago

Nature has spread the beauty of countless colors all around us This beauty sometimes comes in the color of the flower sometimes in the skillful structure of the leaves and sometimes in the strange shape of the tree One such afternoon a special flower caught my eye whose structure was worth describing and the color was wonderful While taking photographs I felt like writing a blog about the name beauty and photography experience of this flower The thick and hard flower like a dark red ruby that is seen in this picture is actually the flower of the Spiral Ginger plant Costus igneous or Spiral Ginger In many places it is also called Chocolate Ginger Cherry Costus or Red Kachuripana Flower In Bengali it is sometimes known as Ginger Lily It is a member of the ginger family and many people cannot recognize it at first sight due to the shape and color of the flower.

The main attraction of this flower is its thick flower cluster of dark red or maroon color From a distance it looks like a thick raw potato but when you get closer you can see an interesting flower formed one after another in layers These layers look like spoons which are twisted together as if a rose has been rolled up The leaves of the flower are dark green and large the edges of the leaves are smooth and there are clear veins in the middle These leaves give the plant a neat and dense decoration The green of the leaves and the red of the flowers make the whole plant look like a work of art painted by nature The afternoon when I took these photographs the sunlight was soft and shady Such light is very suitable for bringing out the true colors of the flowers I took the photos with my mobile phone Vivo Y77 The play of light and shadow the green of the leaves and the red of the flowers make the photos very favorite I tried in photography.

So that the structure of the flower can be clearly understood and its natural beauty is maintained I tried to retain the true colors without editing too much This plant is usually planted to enhance the beauty of the garden It is not only beautiful to look at but some parts of its plant are also used in Ayurvedic medicine However this flowering plant is very popular mainly for decorating courtyards roadsides or gardens Especially those who love gardening like to plant and care for this plant with their own hands Because it does not require much care it grows beautifully and blooms at a certain time of the year Taking pictures of this type of flower gives rise to a kind of respect and love for nature Every flower teaches us something new to live easily to spread color without wrapping yourself up and to shed light in its own form with the sunrise of each day.

These photographs are not just pictures for me, but a feeling that builds my spiritual relationship with nature. Those who love photography know—capturing a beautiful moment on camera means keeping that moment forever. This special flower makes my afternoon more beautiful. Its deep red color, circular shape, and green leaves make it a unique ornament of nature. I am happy to share this experience and pictures. If any of you have such flowers in your garden, then take time to enjoy their beauty. And if not, take a moment to look at these pictures and find some peace. These colorful friends of nature know how to bring a smile to our hearts in a silent and selfless way.
