Saluting every life with a flower each day! Flowers are soul of the planet, blooming to play music with silent notes. Smile at them as they are sweet hearted!! Only the photographs taken by me are uplinked. I lean heavily to http://www.flowersofindia for flower identification and descriptions. Looking forward to valuable comments and suggestions.
Evergreen small tree of 4-5 m in height, native to Africa. Leaves are 20-30 cm in length, and flowers measuring 5-6 cm in length are trumpet shaped, yellow in color, with orange-reddish spots in the throat arranged in terminal clusters. Fruit is a capsule, of up to 70 cm in length, with abundant winged seeds. I have observed these medium avenue trees in Bangalore and Mysore residential streets. The beautiful flowers often invoked curiosity and dragged me towards them. This photograph was taken near my home in Mysore, in the evening of 8th Sept. 2011 which i observed while on a walk.
