A little while back Bangalore blogger LotusLeaf @ Garden Tropics had written about
Colville's Glory, pictures of which she had taken in Mysore. Like it always happens, soon after reading about it on her blog, I got to see it for myself - in full bloom in Lalbagh. The trees by the parking lot, which i had mistaken for copperpods, were none other than Colvillea raceoma. It was a spectacular sight, with its fiery red buds and orange flowers amidst the green leaves.

What a sight! I'll be on the lookout on my next visit to other cities. Haven't seen them here.
come to bangalore :)
One of my favourite trees. It does look so fantastic when it's dripping with its briliant orange flower sprays. I'm lucky enough to have a neighbour close by who has one of these trees in their front yard. I just love driving by when it's blooming!
lucky you bernie!
