Visiting the over 100 year old Empress Garden in Pune, is always amazing. Everytime I see something new.
It is spread over 45 acres and i haven't visited all parts as yet. It's not a Garden in the true sense of the word with lawns and flower beds but is a botanical garden home to very old trees.
Recently i visited a part of the garden I had not explored before. Here is one of the predominant tree I saw there.
Several Sterculia foetida or Jungli Badam of Sterculiaceae had a home there. Stately tall and growing almost straight up the lofty trees were atleast 5 storys high. And blooming! Most of them bore flowers and fruits.
Here they are

The same place has massive Dhawda Anogeissus latifolia trees as well.
My visit just reiterated that it's good to revisit any location. You never know which 'tree'sure you may find!
I am joining Parul in her ThursdayTreeLove bloghop. Do head over to see fantastic trees from around the world. Better still, join in.

That sounds like quite vast area. Where is Empress Garden? In Pune?
True, any place is worth a revisit. Just like while we re-read a book, or re-watch a movie, we tend to find parts of the story which didn't really catch our attention; or we get a different perception from what we had before.

Yes Empress Garden in Pune. I forgot to add the city!🤦🏼♀️ (Editing my post now). Your thoughts about rereading books is absolutely right. And movies as well! 😃
Thanks for stopping by Pradeep! 🙏🏼
That must be a huge area. Sure deserves visits many times. Thank you for sharing and joining, Archana.
Thanks Parul! Happy to be part of TTL!
