    That is the Spathodia,also called the African Tulip… it was brought here from Africa by the emissaries of Hyder and Tipu. It was a treat seeing it in Tanzania…I asked my guide it was called just “Tulip”!No, it was the African Tulip there, too..It’s such a beautiful flower!

    Such a beautiful spectacle of Tulips in full bloom. Bangaloreans are lucky to have such lush greenery, verdant green carpets and seasonals and perennials, ornamental plants at many public places. Though I stayed for a brief period, I cherish all this nature in its pristine beauty, the cool climate and the evening drizzles and the clean rain-soaked Vidhan Soudha and other roads. It is for the native Bangaloreans to keep this wonderful green heritage. Belgaum too presents a similar greeneery, particularly near the Cantonment and Sambra Aiforce Station areas.
