This tree of mine is like a Phoenix. the branches have been lopped off at least 3 times. As the branches used to grow too near the house, and the tiny leaves blocked the roof tiles, I have had to cut the branches often. After the last cut, the tree again began sprouting and now it is full of flowers. It was a favourite of my eldest son, who passed away. He used to be upset every time I chopped the branches. He would have been happy to see it now.
I love the Gulmohar tree in bloom. It’s vivid orange-red blossoms against a bright blue sky makes me happy. I love to see the line of Gulmohur trees, when they bloom, in Bangalore.
