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"

Natural 'Holi'

Yesterday was the festival of Holi that marks the onset of Spring in India. It is celebrated by spraying coloured powder/water but due to Covid 19 restrictions it was muted and almost everybody was at home leaving the streets empty. It was a blessing in disguise for me as I could actually look up at the flowering trees while I rode my bicycle on the empty streets of Bandra Kurla Complex and saw how Nature played Holi with its colourful floral display.
