I must confess that when I started Blooming Friday, I wasn't sure wether anybody would like to participate - so I'm overjoyed that you chose to do just that! It pleases me enormously to have participants from different countries around the world.

The trees are not tall--heavily pruned in autumn, I think. But it was such a lovely sight. Although I've seen the common crapes everywhere this is the first variety I've found on the road divider.<br /><br />Carla, that's right. Very delicate looking. Glad to have you stop by.<br /><br />You too, Wendy. So happy to read your comment. Will be out exploring more road dividers:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-398375552921313642009-07-04T06:39:35.970+05:302009-07-04T06:39:35.970+05:30Those are absolutely beautiful!!

Also love their colourful bark. Mine is now full of seed some germinate and I find little trees. But they are not a nuiscance like the really wonderful, yellow Tabebuia.

These are heavily pruned after the flowering season is over and are not allowed to grow high. There are different shrubs in different areas of the city. The other day I saw Ixoras in the brightest shade of red. You're right about someone giving the OK. Someone did! Thank God!<br /><br />Hi Maria, thank you so much! If you'd like to see more of these blooms, Stephanie of Steph's Green Space (please see my blog list) had posted on this sometime back. Her colours are more vibrant than the ones I've posted.<br /><br />Susie, I'll be careful! But it was fun because that's one thing I wouldn't have thought about in my pre-blogging days!<br /><br />Prospero, so true! if the roadsides were bereft of blooms I'd have thought less of our gorgeous trees! But they make us stop. And admire. And yes, reflect on the beauty of nature.<br /><br />Joey, thank you so much! Your words are lovely...And despite the heat ( when it doesn't rain) it's wonderful to think of the many lovely blooms as--summer being kind. I like that!<br /><br />Easygardener, thank you! I'm so glad you loved the blooms!<br /><br />Steph, I felt that your colours were more intense! And I haven't seen the red ones on our dividers. I'll always remember your photos. Now that you've reminded me of the white ones, there is a long stretch of white-only!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-20310390588275899292009-07-03T20:12:30.122+05:302009-07-03T20:12:30.122+05:30Kanak, nowadays I kept looking at this flower alon...Kanak, nowadays I kept looking at this flower along the roads here.
