Flowering Tree - Pink Trumpet

Bangalore (State: Karnataka) known as Garden City true to its name as lot of flowering trees on either side of most of the roads. They bloom with flowers of various colors. One such tree is Pink Trumpet Tree.

The flowers are deep pink with a pale yellow center and are borne in clusters. The tree starts flowering in winter and spring.


In the spring the entire tree is covered with pink blossoms.


The trees have very distinctive broad leaflets that are pointed at the tip and curved inwards. There are total 5 leaflets of unequal size. When the tree begins to flower the tree sheds all leaves.

  2. The blossoms of this tree are very beautiful. I think it is unusual, though, for a tree to shed its leaves when it blooms.

  6. These are just lovely. Does the tree shed its leaves because it needs all its energy to force the blooms?
