Plenty of flowers bloom in Bangladesh in various seasons. Following are few photos of flowers taken by this author:

• Some of these flowers may be not actually native flower of Bangladesh.
• I am sorry that I don't have a photo of our national flower Shapla. I hope to upload photo of Shapla in the future.
• I don't know name of most of these flowers. So I am not putting any name of any flower.
