paatia
Paatia is a fancy word for a flower. It’s so rare it might as well be a mythical creature. You’ll probably never see it unless you’re in South Asia or Southeast Asia, which are places that sound like they’re from a fantasy novel.
I told my mom I saw a paatia, and she said I was hallucinating from eating too many samosas.
My crush said he saw a paatia, and now I think he’s lying to get my attention.
My teacher said paatia is a flower, and I think she’s lying because she’s never been to India.
