CHITRAL
Man has been naturally fond of beauty since day one and flowers are considered to be a great element or source of beauty but some flowers are so charming that force and attract a person to blossom.
Ayun valley is rightly called the land of flowers where there are small pots and gardens of flowers in every house and everywhere but the flowers in Azam’s House of Ayun are something else. The House has a beautiful garden that has different types of flowers planted, related to every region of Pakistan but some kinds of flowers imported from other countries as well.
The specialty of this garden is that there are so many colors and types of rose flowers that it is difficult to count their names, one Haji Mehboob Azam said. Haji Mehboob Azam has regularly hired a professional and trained Mali from Peshawar to take care of these beautiful flowers.
There are so many beautiful flowers in Azam House that tourists come from far flung areas to see them. A lot of money has been spent on collecting these flowers, ordering them from different cities and foreign countries, but Haji Mehboob Azam said that there is no price for the hobby.
A person sometimes spends a lot of money on unnecessary things, if instead of spending on these flowers, at least this flower makes a person happy, Haji Mehboob Azam said. When we come home tired from work, I sit among these beautiful flowers for a few moments and play with them, all the fatigue goes away and one becomes mentally refreshed.
He further said that today every second person is suffering from depression and tension, if they make friends with these flowers instead of taking drugs or taking drugs, all their problems will be removed.
Common people enjoy seeing these beautiful flowers, but visually impaired people also enjoy their fragrance. Hafiz Sher Wali Khan is a reverend of a religious seminary who lost his sight at the age of 10 but when he sits among flowers plants, certainly enjoyed the time.
Ahtishamul Haq, a student of Government Commerce College Chitral, also came to Ayun to see these flowers. It is not even known how many hours he studied. Other tourists who came here also praised these flowers and said that after seeing these beautiful flowers, they are refreshed again and they do not even need to go to the hospital nor they feel sick.
Prof. Hafeezullah of Department of Botany Chitral University and medical experts said that if a person loves these flowers and takes care of them by planting flowers in their homes, their immunity will also be strengthened and such people also not easily be affected from diseases. People who love flowers are always young at heart and remain healthy and wealthy.
If such people are encouraged on government level, who promote tourism by planting such beautiful flower gardens and making the people happy, that would certainly increase and motivate other people to come and invest for the betterment of the environment, Professor Hafeezullah said.
