Gemitir (also known as gumitiror mitir) is probably known everywhere else in the world as the Mexican marigold. In Bali this flower species is practically the unofficial regional flower of the island. See, gemitiris essential in Hindu culture and ceremonies, that's why its only natural to see baskets and baskets of the yellow petals in traditional markets all around Bali. While its still awesome to see the stacks of picked gemitir, its so much better to see them in their natural habitat. What’s a beautiful taking a picture around the flower! As this village is nestled in East Bali and not far from one of the holiest (and unfortunately one of the most touristy) temples in Bali – Besakih Temple – many of these flowers are planted by the locals and used in daily Balinese offerings. #urbanexplorer #springblossombali #awesomepic #nyedestinations #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #springblossoms#urbanexplorer
