While I hate the heat in summer, I love the trees that bloom this season. The yellow Laburnum, the purple Jacaranda and the red/orange Gulmohar.
Native to Madagascar, this tree is now seen almost all over India. All through the months of May-June one finds the tree covered with clusters of bright orange flowers along with its delicate green fern leaves.
Botanical name: Delonix regia Family: Caesalpiniaceae (Gulmohar family)

wow! these are simply beautiful shots! i can look at them forever.
ReplyDeleteThanks. But I still think the pictures did not capture the beauty. I saw the tree in full bloom and had to set off on a hot summer afternoon. I should probably have photographed the tree in the evening.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about this season too. I crib about the heat but the sight of these flowering trees makes us think about the other face of summer!;) Glad you posted these photos!
