these are along Rhu Cross

It's always a spectacle when the Angsana trees are allowed to flower and sadly the beautiful flowers for only a day. So when I came back the following day to try and capture its glory, there was really nothing much left to take.

PTEROCARPUS INDICUS

I hate to see the Angsana trees pruned drastically to reduce the crown of these trees. The best look of an Angsana is when all its branches arch and droop down pendulously on a mature tree that hasn't been pruned for a long time. 

Such a tree also has the tendency to flower at its best under those conditions. Sadly, it becomes an uncommon occurrence these days to witness the flowering and its beautiful yellow flowers.
