Those who are familiar with the poem by Thomas Grey - "Elegy in the Country Church Yard" must have read the stanza where he writes about heroes who are buried there, unsung, unknown, and unnoticed comparing them to a flower that blooms unseen wasting its fragrance in the desert air.
This flower is one such that no visitors noticed when they came over. It is called super star and has a mild perfume

It's beautiful and looks like a rose. I can't believe no one pays attention to its beauty.

@allknowing Are they a wildflowers? Or there are many in your areas that's why it becomes a regular flower that people don't give attention?

@simplfred Roses are seen wild only in Kashmir here in India.
It is just that they are not interested in looking around

Nothing surprising. It is the other way around. Nature notices you

I really do not know. Roses have names and one needs to dig into history to find out why.
