These flowers are beautiful. They remind me of this line from John Keats's poem:" A thing of beauty is a joy for ever - it will never pass into nothingness". The flowers have scent. Unfortunately, the scent only goes in one direction - the direction of the wind. And I agree, the scent of good does go against the wind. Mohan Goel.
Thank you for the nice comment.
