Under the gentle morning sun, the Ashoka flowers bloom gracefully, never tiring of greeting the world. Their pink and red colors capture my attention. The pink, with its softness, and the red, look so bold. Look at those tiny petals growing so closely together, as if they don't want any of them to be alone. They always want to be together, no matter what.

I'm not only drawn to these flowers for their beauty, but also their scent. When the breeze comes, their sweet, soft scent fills my nostrils. The scent is so calming, as if what has entered my nostrils never wants to let go. It feels like a peace slowly creeping into my chest.
However, it's important to note that the scent of Ashoka flowers is only noticeable when we're close. The scent of Ashoka flowers isn't as strong as that of roses and jasmine. In my opinion, the scent of Ashoka flowers is only for those who truly want to know them and take the time to be around them.
