Polyalthia, also known as the “False Ashoka” plant, carries an interesting story. Legend has it that this plant once found itself in a heated argument with other forest trees. Eager to prove its worth, the Polyalthia decided to bloom beautiful flowers all year round. Witnessing this phenomenon, the other trees were overcome with awe and admiration. From that day forward, the Polyalthia became a symbol of resilience and determination, reminding us that even in the face of challenges, one can bloom beautifully.
