12th March is called Plant A Flower Day. Why this day is celebrated on on 12th march, could not be found out by me. How we began the tradition is again unknown. At least I could not find any information on that. But whoever did has done a great service to mankind.
Why do I say so? Let me elaborate.
Pick up a flower if you have one nearby, or imagine of a flower. Have you seen anything more beautiful in nature? Yes, butterflies come as close competitors in colors. But butterflies are insects, whereas flowers belong to the plant world. Look around any landscape. What do we expect to find? Trees, waterfalls, streams, rivers, mountains, fruits, rocks, stones, grass and such other natural objects that make a typical landscape.
You can add snow and sand to this list for some regions. Now can any of these claim of beauty similar to that of flowers? Can anything compare with the softness, the shape and the fragrance of flowers? Nothing. Please look at some of this beautiful flowers. Compare and decide. Click to download flower screensavers

On a lighter note, can you imagine of anything other than a flower to gift to your sweetheart? Can you imagine presenting him/her a bowl of water on Valentines Day? Or make a bouquet of dry grass.
Any rocks? No. Flowers score over everything. The heavenly fragrance of some flowers can intoxicate anyone. The softness can be matched only by an infants skin. Flowers are the diamonds of the plant world and can even beat diamonds in almost all qualities.
Compare the cost of a flower and a diamond. You will surely choose the former.
I can keep on talking about flowers and their multiple uses. It seems that nature created flowers to please us. Plant a flowering bush or tree on every 12th March and enjoy watching it grow..
