Spring trees millettia ovalifolia and butea frondosa in bloom

There are lot of trees in bloom right now. The spring annuals have started fading but trees are just warming up. Here are some of the trees in bloom right now in lahore. I am intended to capture at least 50 trees in my blog this spring.

First one is butea frondosa also known as Flame of the forest. Bees and butterflies just love it. The hundreds of flowers on a single tree look so pretty. A common tree in lahore. This is a closeup of flowers of butea frondosa.

And this is how the flame of forest looks like in a panorama view.

The next one is millettia ovalifolia with local name villayati shisham. A subtropical legume tree. There are more than one millettia species blooming right now but i will share the remaining in next post.
These are buds not flowers of millettia ovalifolia.

This is closeup of flower buds of millettia ovalifolia. Look like capsules

And this is how flowers of millettia ovalifolia look like. Somehow they appear to be pea like.

And last but not least the front view of this beautiful tree.
