Taking time to stop and smell the flowers... that fell off from the flower vase. 😂 Nonetheless, these to me smell like home! #🇧🇩 .

Back in Bangladesh marigold flowers were traditionally used to adorn brides and decorate wedding halls during the Bengali pre-wedding "holud" (turmeric/yellow) ceremony. People seem to use them less in Bangladeshi weddings these days, but I've always loved the faint, citrus-like scent and the bright orange and yellow hue of these flowers. They remind of the years I spent in Dhaka, of beautiful weddings and of "falgun", the Bengali celebration of spring. ❤️ .

I grabbed a big bunch of marigold flowers from @wholefoodsnyc last week to decorate the table for my Bangladeshi supper club dinner, and they are currently making me very happy. Flowers have such an incredibly uplifting power! On me at least. 😊 .

Have a great week everyone!
