Bangalore Emblazoned Yellow

It’s almost like God sprayed a yellow paint brush over the city. It’s simply spectacular, and you just can’t miss it............yellow full bloom trees across the city skyscape.

I’m sure at one point or the other, its captivated even the most non discerning eye........ brought a nice feeling into every Bangloreans heart, not just that of the avid tree lovers that Bangalore is also famously known for.



The yellow is so yellow…..full of brightness and energy that it just gets into you and lifts the spirit.

It’s the Tabebuia Argentea…also known as the Tree of Gold. Apparently, it's the European curators of Lal Bagh, William New and John Cameron, who introduced the tabebuias as exotic flowering trees to Bangalore in the late 19th century. We sure have reason to be glad and grateful !!

  1. THE TREE OF GOLD
    So lovely and vibrant,
    The bloomed golden tree,
    With its bright hue flowers.
    Cannot walk past it,
    Without admiring in awe.


    Swaying in the wind,
    Dancing to its own music,
    Spreading happiness.
    Warm golden rays of sun,
    Caressing it so lovingly.

    As I walk near the tree,
    A flower dropped on me,
    As though greeting me,
    Including me in its joyousness,
    Making me smile in elation.

  4. In Mumbai , similar flowers named as
    ' bahawa' bloom in the months of March and April. They are very delicate and their appearance is very pleasant. I eagerly wait their arrival. It is as if a friend comes to meet you once a year.
