Tabebuia rosea, also called pink poui, and rosy trumpet tree
in the Bandra Kurla Complex in full bloom.
Tabebuia has pink flowers and is known as 'Cherry Bloosoms
of Penang' as these pink flowers resemble Japan's cherry blossom. But they are
in actual not cherry blossom.
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"
