There are lots of flowers in bignonia family which are ideal to the climate of lahore. Some of them are heat loving and flower profusely in hottest months in summer. Some of them are still blooming in monsoon. Let us have a look.
Giant Crape-myrtle with botanic name Lagerstroemia speciosa It is elder brother of common Lagerstroemia indica shrub, but it is a tree not a shrub. It flowers when only few flowers are blooming due to intense summer heat.
Lahore is full of these trees and they add beauty and bright colors. Flower color changes with age.
Another common and heat loving flower is peacock flower with botanic name Caesalpinia pulcherrima. Flowers for lots of summer months with bright orange flowers.
This one is a bignonia family tree with large leaves and yellow flowers. Common name is katsagon while botanic name is Fernandoa adenophylla

I wonder if we can grow Crape-Myrtle here in my area. I have heard of it but have really not seen it as beautiful as you have shown it here at macro Monday. Leaves me drooling and wanting some for myself.
Nice and beautiful garden shared since there are lovely and good efforts for the published on the different and lovely garden when we go to in that place then we will enjoy it.
Beuatiful colored blooms! I do enjoy the show of colors during summer. Such a contrast once the dreary monsoons set in.
