Bundles of 'Shapla'

The national flower of Bangladesh is Shapla (Water Lily). Shapla is a flower floating at ease in almost every water bodies of the country. Beels haors, brooks, ponds etc. are abodes of this flower. In Bangladesh this beautiful flower is mainly used as vegetable. Farmers in many parts of Bangladesh provide bundles of Water Lily to meet the demand of consumers. They don't need to crop Water Lilies; they collect them from lakes and ponds in Monsoon season. These photos were taken in Sreenagar Upazila of Munshiganj, near Dhaka of 5th August, 2014.
