Diwali- The festival of flowers, gifts and lights



Diwali, as the name substantiates is the festival of lights. It indicates bringing happiness and prosperity in everyone’s life, it also marks the end of darkness and evil power. This festival of lights is celebrated throughout the country, irrespective of religion, cast and creed with full devotion. It unites people by eliminating any rivalry and teaches them to live in harmony. Diwali is marked with the lighting of lamps to signify the victory over evil spirits, by keeping clay lamps all around the house and also by bursting crackers. Homes are cleaned, painted and illuminated with additional lights to welcome goddess Lakshmi. People wear new clothes and distribute sweets among them to mark the grandeur of the festival.

Wild Sunflower Seeds | Helianthus annuus


It is believed that the first helianthus seed raised in Europe was imported from Peru and Mexico and grown in 1562 in the Royal Gardens in Madrid. Towards the end of the sixteenth century helianthus are thought to have been cultivated in Italy. At that time helianthus were also known by J. P. de Tournefort as Chrysanthemum peruvianum and Corona Solis. After Cortuso's observations stated that helianthus flowers turned during the day to follow the course of the sun—a supposed characteristic but not correct—the name Helian thus was definitely confirmed by Linnaeus. Helian thus is taken from the Greek, hellos and anthos.
