They have been putting on a show for us over the past few weeks and they show no signs of stopping just yet.
Some trees have already flowered and finished, but I also noticed that some trees were just beginning to flower, or on the downside of flowering but with tons of blossoms left.
They bloom unexpectedly for just one day, then fall the next morning, showering sidewalks with a carpet of flowers.
The blooming season begins from February and ends in May but I wish the blooming period could last longer so we have more time to enjoy them.
I absolutely like the intoxicating smell of the flowers, and it's kinda sad when they finished blooming.
Here's a close up of some Angsana flowers.

ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful trees. I love the way the petals look on the ground as if to make a golden carpet.

ReplyDeleteI wasn't familiar with Angsana trees, but the flowers are beautiful. It's too bad they only last for one day.

I've never seen such trees before. This was a very interesting post and the photos were wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGlorious although I do not know this tree nor does it grow here, or I don't think it does.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
It's raining with flowers. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos showing that mother nature is alive and well in your neck of the woods. I especially like the photo of the carpet of blooms on the ground as usually they are all blown away :-).

ReplyDeleteit will always be beautiful to see a carpet of yellow blossoms..
ReplyDeletejust lovely!
Yellow n earthy browns make a stunning combo. lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteOh, what beautiful trees!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend.
Lovely. I love the trees you have in Malaysia - they're very unusual (to me) and so many of them have such big, bright flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey look like the same sort of tree that Mumbai Ramblings, another poster featured. They call them Rain Trees in India.
ReplyDeleteMine are less tropical examples: http://mudpuddle.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/photo-hunt-trees
How beautiful. I like the carpet of flowers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! Love the yellow flowers on the ground!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are very calming to look at - blue sky, green trees and yellow flowers.
ReplyDeleteHappy summer. :)
Gosh, I wish we could have that much green.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. The yellow flowers do make a lovely scenery.
yes, they are blooming here, too. we call this tree Narra, it's the Philippines' national tree.:p
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love how they line the road and leave such beautiful leaf litter. I'm sorry that I missed them when I was in Borneo. It was February but I don't remember seeing them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen an Angsana tree--how lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy tree photo is here.
The blooming Angsana trees beautify the environment of a place. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the golden carpet and it is so nice to se the streets of Penang again.
ReplyDeleteLovely post - I love that your spring begins in February! My favourite photo was the last photo with the detail in the blossoms.
