Bangalore is slowly changing from the Garden City to concrete jungle. However, some of the trees that helped it to earned its name, still adorn the streets of Bangalore. The beauty of these flowering trees is appreciated and cherished. It is pleasure to move on the streets of Bangalore with all the trees around you.
One such tree is beautiful Jacaranda flower tree. Mostly the tree bears flowers when the tree is leafless.
The flowers are purple colored and tubular. These flowers hang from the tree for a long time before falling off.

Lovely!
It is nice to see flowering trees trying hard to make their presence felt in a concrete jungle... Beautiful flowers! ~bangchik
Such lovely flowers. I saw a lot of them in Los Angeles. The view from the plane was beautiful - clouds of purple haze dotting the city. I did not know the name then, but one of the guides enlightened me.
What beautiful trees - the flowers are a wonderful colour.
I cannot tell you how much I love these trees! Here in Ooty, in some places, these can be found and they are truly a thrill to look at!
Excellent post, Sir!
My favorite tree! Here too!

Hope you are having a lovey weekend,

The colour of the Jacaranda flowers is very attractive. Great captures!
I haven't seen one like that before, thanks for sharing.
My flower entry, have a great Sunday!
Hi Rajesh,
I also I have Jacaranda trees blooming in Barcelona today.
Thanks for your comment.
Love the colour of the blossom. We have one near us in a local park but it is very old and does not like our climate. However, every year it shows a few flowers to remnid me of their beauty.
Wish I could grow the tree with the beautiful flowers in our garden in Canada:)
Lovely pictures and flowers!
Great shots!!
Very lovely!
thanks for showing Jacaranda. We don´t have it up North, but I like it.
It's nice to see such beautiful trees in a city, and I am always glad to hear that someone has had the foresight not to chop them down. People need their trees to refresh their inner happiness. Your photos are lovely. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

I also saw them in California years ago on a visit but I had no idea what they were. They are just stunning.
Beautiful!
I love the colors and so glad for you the trees are there. Blessings

Very pretty and I love the color of the blooms!

These trees used to be the pride of our Bengaluru.Though I grieve for the lost , I am grateful that few are still left in the central district.
What a glorious statement of joy each tree is !
My these are beautiful! Wishing you well! Cathy
I love this flower. We have one across the road. Great shots, Rajesh.
Have a great week.
That's a beautiful tree with gorgeous blossoms.
I just love them. Mine died due to the salinity of our water, but Adelaide is awash with them in Spring.
It is a pleasant experience to see the trees in full bloom. Nice captures!
That is a gorgeous tree. Such beautiful blooms.
lovely lovely.. captures!! What lovely full bloom trees..
They are such a gorgeous color -- it must be like walking through a purple cloud! Thanks for sharing these lovely images at MM. :)
True Urbanisation is killing, But then bangalore retains some of the old charm
This is my favourite flower. BUt have never managed to get such a good picture.
Thanks to all for the appreciation. I love the color of these flowers. Thankfully at least some parts of Bangalore we can still see these flowers.
At least they bloom to hold the name is much fine!
I love the Jacaranda tree and it's lovely color! Great post for the day, Rajesh, as always!

Those are so beautiful. I love the color of the flowers on the tree.
I didn't know that the Jacaranda bore fruit too. Its so beautiful when its blooming.
Beautiful, and logical naming of the city.
On behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you!
So THAT's what a jacaranda tree looks like! Very nice!
So lovely!
We have jacaranda's in SoCal and out-of-towners always comment on how pretty they are.
Beautiful colours. Sadly but true, all cities are being converted into concrete jungle now.
