Deadly Vanomous Beauty of Nature

Image
Beautiful as they may be, some flowers are much more than they appear to be. Believe it or not, these seemingly harmless plants can really ruin your vacation. So, I'm now going to describe you about the seven most beautiful but deadly flowers in the world. Let's Enjoy them..... No. 7> Daphne Also known as lady laurel or paradise plant, Daphne is a 1-1.5 meters tall shrub, usually grown for its scented flowers. All parts of the plant are poisonous, but the greatest concentrations are in the sap and berries. Daphne contains mezerine and daphnin, two powerful toxins that cause stomach aches, headaches, diarrhea, delirium and convulsions. If Daphne berries are consumed, the victim might fall into a coma and even die. No. 6> Lily of the Valley Just like the Daphne, Lily of the Valley may look beautiful and harmless, but it is entirely poisonous. Eating one or two of the plant’s bell-shaped flowers won’t hurt you very much, especially if you’re an adult. Eaten in l...

Baldha Garden : A Tranquil Beauty of Dhaka

Image
Dhaka , the capital city of Bangladesh , is known as a destination that boasts a unique culture, a place where history can be explored by visiting many noteworthy sites and attractions . Over the years, thousands of tourists have come to Dhaka to visit the mosques and museums that hold the secrets to the city’s past. But amongst the bustling traffic, the hurried steps of pedestrians and the fast growing city with high-rise buildings shooting up from the city’s pavements, there are attractions such as the Baldha Garden where Bangladesh can be discovered in beauty and tranquility. The Baldha Garden was established in 1904 by a well known property owner named Narendra Narayan Roy. He decided to begin a small botanical garden on the estate, which is more than three acres in size. After his death in 1943, the garden was left to fend for itself, until the forestry department took over the deteriorating garden in 1962. Over the years the botanical garden had grown into a collection of ra...

The Sundarbans

Image
In the south western part of Bangladesh, in the district of greater Khulna, lies the Sundarbans, "the beautiful forest." It is a virgin forest which until recently owed nothing to human endeavour and yet nature has laid it out with as much care as a planned pleasure ground. For miles and miles, the lofty treetops form an unbroken canopy, while nearer the ground, works of high and ebb-tide marked on the soil and tree trunks and the many varieties of the natural mangrove forest have much to offer to an inquisitive visitor. Here land and water meet in many noble fashions. Wild life presents many a spectacle. No wonder, you may come across a Royal Bengal Tiger swimming across the streams or the crocodiles basking on the river banks. With the approach of the evening herds of deer make for the darking glades where boisterous monkeys shower Keora leaves from above for sumptuous meal for the former. For the botanist, the lover of nature, the poet and the painter this land ...

Angel Falls in Venezuela

One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, magnificent Angel Falls , remains virtually masked to mankind in the rugged jungle and mountain of Venezuela. The mighty cascade is named after Jimmy Angel , an American pilot who landed on top of Auyantepui in 1937 while searching for gold. Nestled deep in the recesses of Canaima National Park in the Venezuelan  state of Bolivar, the towering waterfall drops from a height of 979 meters off the top of Auyantepui ( Devil's Mountain) . Known in Venezuela as " El Salto Angel ," the waterfall is 19 times the height of Niagara Falls. Local Indian inhabitants named Angel Falls - Kerekupai-Meru , meaning “fa...
