Golden Showers










The Cassia fistula (Indian laburnum) is in full bloom in Pune and I'm sure in many other parts of India too. The tree is totally covered only with huge pendulous golden blooms. Some parts of this tree are said to have medicinal value but the seeds are reportedly poisonous.
Pune is lucky that some trees have still survived what we fondly called 'development'! We can enjoy different colours and blooms that Nature has to offer all round the year.
As you zip around, do take time to appreciate its beauty. It does not take time but gives immeasurable happiness.
Enjoy!
