What is Tabebuia Avellaneda?

It is also known as the "pink trumpet tree," a species of flowering tree that is native to South America. It is a member of the Bignoniaceae family, which also includes the trumpet vine and the jacaranda tree.

As per a Lifestyle Asia report, the British brought these flowers to Bangalore. According to legend, they wanted to bring spring home by favouring exotic, attractive plants over native ones. They then introduced pink trumpets to the region, where they were used to create a floral aesthetic.

The tree produces large, pink or violet, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in profusion, usually in the spring or early summer. The leaves are green, glossy, and pinnate. The tree is often used as an ornamental tree in tropical and subtropical climates. It is also used as a street tree and an avenue tree in many places.

People on the internet were in love with the images. A man wrote, "The Pink Trumpets or the Tabebuia Avellaneda have started to blossom in Bengaluru. That time of the year when certain parts of #Bengaluru turns completely Pink."
