Pinky ... pinky ... pinky ...



Scientific name: Dombeya wallichii
The pink ball or Tropical hydrangea is a spectacular tree with large heart shaped leaves and dense heads of little pink flowers, hanging from foot long stalks. It is native to Madagascar. This beautiful tree is grown for its pendulous deep pink flower balls, which has a pleasant fragrance. I saw this tree in Ooty and Coonoor. The one tree which i desired to take photograph in Ooty had dried flowers and i was disappointed. But my disappointment had short-lived as i could snap this photograph the same evening of 30th November 2011 at Sims Park, Coonoor.
