Bengaluru Turns Pink Again With Cherry Blossoms-Like Flowers, See Breathtaking Photos

Every year, as spring tiptoes into Bengaluru, a magical transformation takes place. Soft pink petals begin to carpet the streets, not from fallen flowers, but from the majestic Tabebuia Roses bursting into bloom. These towering trees, also known as Pink Trumpets, paint the city in a breathtaking spectacle of blush hues.

Frequently mistaken for Japan's sakura cherry blossoms, the pink trumpets belong to the exotic species known as tabebuia avellaneda, native to South America.

By whom were these pink blossoms planted?

Notably, these Tabebuia trees were originally planted in the city by the Britishers. It is believed that during the colonial period, the British planted these blossoms, which transform into trumpet-shaped flowers, to adorn the streets and serve as a nostalgic reminder of their homeland. Pioneering botanists like John Cameron and Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel sowed the initial seeds of these trees during their tenure in the Kingdom of Mysore, particularly within the precincts of Lal Bagh.
