"Bana-Phul" (বনফুল/বন-ফুল) is a Bengali poetry book written by Rabindranath Tagore. It was published in 1286 (March 9, 1880) when he was fifteen years old only. It is divided into eight cantos. The influence of Biharilal Chakraborty is clearly noticed in his writing. It is the first complete poetry book of Tagore’s initial phase as a poet. However, it was composed before "Kabi-Kahini" (The Tale of the Poet). Prior to Bana-Phul, Kabi-Kahini was published in 1878.
The meaning of the poem "Bana-Phul" is "The Flower of the Woods". It has 93 pages. This poem was not reprinted. It was published continuously in the monthly newspapers named Gyanankur (জ্ঞানাঙ্কুর) and Protibimbo (প্রতিবিম্ব) from Agrahayana of 1282 to Ashwin-Kartik of 1283. Though it was Rabindranath Tagore's first poem as a poet, there is very little information about it.
