Floral Culture

Floral culture has widely [বহুল] been flourished [সমৃদ্ধি লাভ করে] in our country because of a rosy environment [পরিবেশ] full of colour and fragrance [গন্ধ]. It is not only an interesting pastime but also a money maker if it can be handled professionally [পেশাগতভাবে]. A florist [ফুলের চাষী] specializes [বিশেষজ্ঞ হত্তয়া] in the selection and arrangement of flowers for a variety of events such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, marriage days, Valentine’s Day, official receptions and even funerals. Although formal education or a diploma is not always essential, florists must have a good taste, good eye for colours, shapes and proportion [অনুপাত]. They have to have good sense for selecting flowers, ribbons and other accessories to make beautiful arrangements. Professional florists are knowledgeable about not only flowers but also designs and techniques. Most florists learn the trade mainly through apprenticeship [শিক্ষানবিশ] in a previous flower farming job and also by attending formal floral schools and courses. Every flower is with its distinct [স্বতন্ত্র] colour, design, significance [মর্ম] and meaning which flower designers have to know well. We know that conventionally [রীত্যনুসারে] roses are meant for romance and anniversaries and tulips for birthdays. However, a true passion for flowers and a bit of aesthetic [নান্দনিক] sense are all that can make a florist’s career successful. Flower designers earn fairly handsome money. But the bonus is that they belong to a fresh fun job. They work in flowers all day long in a nice atmosphere with fresh air, pleasant smells and vivid [উজ্জ্বল] colours around. But there is a disadvantage too, if you are inclined to see so. Florists deal with flowers, but miss their honey!
