Just as the sun sets in the face of the evening, when the sun gives off its brightness and gives a soft light, when the darkness of the night peeks out, then a flower spreads its full form. Her name is Sandhyamalati. Some lovingly named her Sandhyamani, some call her Krishnakali. By hearing the names, you will think that this is our flower, Bengali flower. That thought will be proven wrong when you know that he came from faraway Peru.
Today, let's talk about Sandhyamalti, the decoration of homestead or hobby garden.
Though native to Peru, Sandhyamalti has spread all over the world due to its beauty. In each country, in each region, however, he is called by different names. The name of this flower in English is 'four o'clock' or four o'clock flower. Many people know it as 'Beauty of Night' or the beauty of night.
In Bengali, the name Sandhyamalati is related to evening, so the English name four and clock are also related to time. This flower blooms at around 4:00 p.m. when the twilight begins. Of course, it can also be found in winter mornings.
