"The Story of Plants in Nature's Touch: Beauty, Benefits

avatar

In the midst of nature wrapped in greenery, some trees change color with time, some grow new leaves, and some fall silently. These pictures tell the story of one such tree.

This tree may once have provided shade, swayed in the wind, and been a home for birds. But now? Its stems are withered, new buds sprouting in some places but not as vibrant as before. Maybe this change has come in the law of nature, maybe it is waiting for a new life.

Everything is changeable in nature. This fading form of the tree also teaches us — life is sometimes green, sometimes dry. But in change there are new possibilities, new beginnings.

Have you ever wondered about the changes in the nature around you? The tree in this picture may be Albizia lebbeck. Shiresh tree is found in abundance in South and Southeast Asia and is a fast growing tree.

"...life is sometimes green, sometimes dry. But in change there are new possibilities, new beginnings."

So true, that is a good lesson! 😊

I have never heard of the Shirish tree, as it does not grow where I live. It is nice learning about new things! I think your posts should give the source of your information, though. If you are using the info from some website or book, it should be credited! 😉

Your comments are appreciated! Life is truly changing, and with every change comes new possibilities.

Glad to know about the mustard plant is a new experience for you! Learning about nature is always interesting.

Your advice is also correct—if information is taken from a specific source, it should be cited. But I came to know about this tree from my grandparents and neighbors. Even learned some things from the books I studied in high school. Thanks for your valuable feedback!
