Tabebuia rosea

Pink blooms line the street of the Bandra Kurla Complex in Bandra east.

Tabebuia rosea, also called pink poui, and rosy trumpet tree is a neotropical tree that grows up to 30 m and can reach a diameter at breast height of up to 100 cm. The Spanish name roble de sabana, meaning "savannah oak", is widely used in Costa Rica, probably because it often remains in heavily deforested areas and because of the resemblance of its wood to that of oak trees. It is the national tree of El Salvador, where it is called "Maquilíshuat"

African tulips

The African tulip tree in full bloom in the Bandra Kurla Complex in Bandra east.

Common name: African tulip tree, Fountaintree • Hindi: Rugtoora रगतूरा• Tamil: Patadi • Bengali: Rudrapalash • Kannada: ಜೀರ್ಕೊೞವಿಕಾಯಿ, ಜೀರ್ಕೊಳವಿಕಾಯಿ Jeerkolavi kaayi, ನೀರುಕಾಯಿ Neeru kaayi, ಉಚ್ಚೆಕಾಯಿ Ucche kaayi

One of the world's most spectacular flowering trees, African tulip tree is a large upright tree with glossy deep green pinnate leaves and glorious orange scarlet flowers. It may grow to 80 ft on an ideal site, but most specimens are much smaller. The tree has a stout, tapering, somewhat buttressed trunk covered in warty light gray bark. The lateral branches are short and thick. The 1-2 ft long opposite leaves, which emerge a bronzy color, are massed at the ends of the branches. They are composed of 5-19 deeply veined oval leaflets. The horn shaped velvety olive buds appear in upturned whorls at the branch tips. A few at a time, the buds of the lowest tier bend outward and open into big crinkled red orange tuliplike bells with red streaked gold throats, frilly yellow edges, and four brown-anthered stamens in the center. They are followed by 5-10 in green brown fingerlike pods pointing upwards and outwards above the foliage. Each of these pods contains about 500 tissue papery seeds. The tree flowers in spurts all through the growing season, but peak bloom is usually in the spring.
