Tabebuiea

Came across this pink tabebuiea in full flower on a street side. Sometimes you just want to look at a tree, a flower, a spider's web, an insect, without wanting to know its name. Watching its intricate structure, the delicate layers of colors unfolding as you get drawn into its world is reward enough. 

This particular tree looked like it was wearing its joy on its branches.

The gorgeous Kleinhovia

Kleinhovia Hospita to be exact.  Named after Dr C Kleinhoff, a German botanist who was in the service of the Dutch East India Company.  Pune is fortunate to have this grand spreading tree with its delicate pink blossoms that turn into papery bunches of fruits. Saw this specimen fruiting in November.  A few delicate blooms were around too. The photos simply cannot do justice to its height - it reaches more than 3 floors of a building.
