Let me share with you some of the trees which are native to my city lahore (Pakistan) and blooming right now. These are Trees of Parkinsonia aculeata, Pterospermum acerifolium and Erythrina suberosa. First one is Parkinsonia aculeata also known as Vilayti kikar. It is a roadside tree covered in yellow flowers. It is also called Jerusalem thorn due to its thorny stems.
Erythrina suberosa also called as Coral tree. Tree looks spectacular when in bloom.
Pterospermum acerifolium with local name kanak champa, a fragrant tree native to india, Pakistan and other south asian countries. Fragrant flowers although leaves are very large. Flowers emit fragrance at night. Another common tree in india and Pakistan.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Wishing you a wonderful day! Cathy
All of them are so beautiful.
Lovely clicks.
Your lovely Jerusalem Thorn Trees look very much like the lovely Palo Verde Trees of our Southwestern Desert. I have some growing in my Garden and being a Native drought tolerant species they thrive and put forth magnificent blooms like this in abundance even during our most unforgiving Seasonal heat and droughts.
