Joy in a cup ...

Scientific name: Erythrina variegata
The Indian coral tree or tiger claw is a showy tall tree growing 60-80'. This is a highly valued ornamental tree. The leaves are compound with three diamond shaped leaflets. The tree blooms profusely with bright crimson flowers 2-3" long in dense terminal clusters. I took this photograph on 3rd December, 2010 at Pasteure Institute, Coonoor, Tamil Nadu while on a trip to attend a Workshop.
