However, it was a different story just three years ago.
Laxmibil village was like any other, wallowing in poverty and absence of gainful work till the the Horticulture Department and Technology Mission stepped in and motivated people to start floriculture.
As it stands, the village now not only supply flowers to the home market, but also export them abroad.
The flower story began when an unemployed youth Swapan Paul cultivated flower plants in his field on a suggestion by officials of the Horticulture Department
He was just wasting away in the absence of anything worthwhile to do and now he earns a handsome Rs 35,000 per month by selling his flowers.
Soon other unemployed youths inspired by Paul's example took up floriculture as a profession.
Now their ranks have swelled to more than 250.
The village's favourable agro-climatic condition has also helped script the success story.
