Your festivals belong to which season?

We call it Gul Mohar and I have Gulmohar that is (Delonix regia), lined up in front of my house in NCR, in some places this is called Fire tree also

No Sunil, it is not gulmohar...amaltās in Hindi

check this link.....it has only yellow colour flowers, some derivatives too. Red colour flowers never......
Those red flowers blossom at March-April-May months. So, we indicate them as symbol of parting of college days/college love :(

But where is yellow colour flower??
I have seen a yellow flower tree similar to Gulmohar, but it is not our 'Konna'.
This tree is not commonly seen in northern states...I believe so.
Though these two plants come under same family, Fabacaea...they are entirely different, in flower shape, colour, odour, size etc. Only one similarity is there - both trees blossom in Summer in Kerala

Cassia fistula is our state flower....also national flower of Thailand

They are lined up in front of my house one yellow one red formation, planted by horticulture deptt. They both are Gulmohar red and yellow. Yes they blossom starting March to whole summer.

Ya...I have told you earlier...in Kerala, we can see gulmohar both in red and yellow colours. But it is entirely different from Cassia.....tree structure itself.
Sunil...can you clear me one doubt.
Here, during those months, trees/flowers similar to gulmohar but pink-2-3 varieties also blossom. Really beautiful. What is its name in Hindi or English? They also belong to gulmohar category??????? I think so, because tree structure and also flower structure have close similarities......colour is in dark pink shades...2 or 3 variations.
Do you have any idea.....???
I want its pictures...but can't get it since I don't know its name. :)

I think this should clear your doubt about the flower you are looking for.

All right I will find it out for you and will send the pic on a forum page. I am sure I will.

I think it was just 3 kms away from the bus stand...where private service buses to Bangalore start and end. Have you identified the place?

No need to go there as I saw some trees right now but there are no flowers may be we can get some in couple of days.Besides this is odd hour for photos may be i shall try tomorrow. Not sure though.

Really!!!
What a sincere friend....
I came there on April 1st 2010....and those trees near the roads were filled with pink flowers.
Due to climatic variations, it may have occurred. Still...I will wait for that photos....I think, light violet flowers are also there.

Actually this is beginning of March, so I saw no flowers on these trees, but I will go around to find some trees which would/may have flowers. This is dark out side now. I live in one of the best areas, near white field, where there are lots of flower's trees and parks are situated.

Onam is the harvest festival.(Paddy fields are harvested first this month) I think August-September is the spring season of Kerala. Most trees and natural plants flower this time. So, onam can be named as the seasonal festival of Kerala.
Vishu is celebrated when Kani Konna flowers on the first day of Medam month. Most frequently it is celebrated on April 14. In this season fruits ripen. So such fruits are used for 'Vishu kani'.

I have told Durgapuja and Kalipuja are the main festivals in West Bengal.

Maar pari to holi nahi to diwali depends how was I treated. :woohoo:

We have just celebrated Vishu.
Which is that festival that you celebrated most recently :)

There is no festivals according to my knowledge. If there is any festivals I will present here.

I think you have not seen my Vishu Kani this year...
here are some snaps...
