Basant Panchami Special: Welcome These Bright Spring Flowers in Your Garden This Year

In India, the spring season has a special significance for many reasons. The auspicious festival of 'Basant Panchami' is celebrated with great enthusiasm, and marks the onset of spring in the Indian subcontinent. The festival also holds a great significance for the farmer community as they celebrate the harvesting of their agricultural fields ripening with bright flowers after the cold and monotonous winter months.

The plants, trees, and flowers blossom out of spring and begin to grow new leaves again while colorful flowers start to bloom. In this season, the sun also begins to shine brighter than ever. Such an eye-pleasing season of spring brings a lot of opportunities for homemakers to decorate their lawns and gardens with the vibrant spring flowers. For you, we have prepared a list of such radiant flowers that will adorn your gardens this spring season.

Sunflower

The bright and big yellow sunflower attracts you as soon as your eyes meet it.

However, as the plant grows, this tracking ceases or slows down. This flower is grown in the spring season and can make your garden very bright.
