Taken in Cubbon Park on December 13, 2014
The other day I posted a winter photo from Budapest to psyche myself up to experience winter for the first time in a while. Now I’m going the other route. As I pack to travel to a place with winter, I’m posting some of the flowers currently blooming in Cubbon Park.

DAILY PHOTO: Dasara Flower Show Gazebo
Taken on October 3, 2014 in Mysore
I just got back from attending Dasara (a.k.a. Dussehra or Vijayadashami) festivities in Mysore. Dasara celebrates Rama’s victory over Ravana, as well as Durga’s defeat of Mahishasur. There was a flower show about a block from the palace, and this gazebo was the centerpiece. The bottom pick was part of the floor of the gazebo.

DAILY PHOTO: Tree of Gold
Taken March 4, 2014 in Cubbon Park.
If you’ve ever seen the kung-fu movie Curse of the Golden Flower, there’s a scene in the Forbidden City where these vivid yellow flowers fill the central courtyard. Cubbon Park is a little like that right now.The tree responsible is called the Tree of Gold (Tabebuia Argentea.) It’s a transplant from South America and has a relatively short blossoming season during which its flowers are thick as can be.

DAILY PHOTO: Republic Day Flower Show
Taken January 26, 2014 at Lal Bagh Gardens in Bangalore.
The Crystal Palace at Lal Bagh gardens, which is normally roped off and empty, has been packed brimming with flowers for the annual Republic Day Flower Show that ends today.
It would be slightly more enjoyable if security wasn’t threatening to wallop one with a stick if one loiters for a second. You can see it as many times as you can fit in a day, but you must keep moving along. It’s a one way flow, so if you don’t have the desire to go through twice (once on either side) I’d recommend going on the south side (farthest from the main entrance.) For some reason the crowd was about half on that side (probably because no one anticipated the layout would make you do two half loops instead of one full loop.) Why they did it, I have no idea, but the flowers were pretty.
