Blushing White

While on the topic of summer and Tabebuias I thought I will finish the trinity. The white flower with a drop of pink in it just fading away.  The flowers like in Tabebuia Rosea have yellow throats. Popularly also known as the White Trumpet Tree or White Ipê or ipê-branco

Name: Tabebuia roseo-alba

Where: Bangalore

When: March  - April

And it was all Yellow!

The colour just speaks for itself - the perfect way to start the summer. Again a South American tree which is in bloom for just about two weeks. Everything looks drab in front of the tree.

Name: Tabebuia chrysantha/ Yellow Ipê

Where: Seen in Bangalore (again almost everywhere)
When: Februrary - March (by march end the flower season ends)

Pink Blossoms

Beautiful pink bunches belonging to the Tabebuia family. 18 and I fondly refer to them as blossoms. If you see one in full bloom you will know why, instantly. Flowers of this family appear in colonies. A single flower (right) never appears alone  - they appear in a bunch to give the view of a larger flower (pic on the left). The tree looks amazing.
This is a South American tree and every summer all the newspapers carry a story about them without fail. Even with all the digging, metro construction, dust and traffic the Bangalore trees just continue to grow and spread their cheer all around.

Name: Tabebuia rosea .The wiki on Tabebuia also calls it Tabebuia impetiginosa or Pink Ipê. I think it refers to a similar tree (tabebuia with pink flowers) that blooms during the winter months. Will try and confirm this.

Where: Bangalore - roads, parks, footpaths. Krishna Rao park has at least 3 of the tabebuia family trees  with yellow, pink and white flowers.

When: February - March. By beginning of April the flowering season ends.
