Gulmohar: Common name: Flame Tree, Royal Poinciana, Gulmohar गुलमोहर (Hindi), Krishnachura (Bengali), Kempu torai (Kannada) Botanical name: Delonix regia Family: Fabaceae/Leguminosae (pea family) Discovered in the early 19th century in its native Madagascar by botanist Wensel Bojer, Gulmohar is a flamboyant tree in flower - some say the world's most colorful tree. For several weeks in spring and summer it is covered with exuberant clusters of flame-red flowers, 4-5 in across. Even up close the individual flowers are striking: they have four spoon shaped spreading scarlet or orange-red petals about 3 in long, and one upright slightly larger petal (the standard) which is marked with yellow and white. The delicate, fern-like leaves are composed of small individual leaflets, which fold up at the onset of dusk. Gulmohar gets 30-40 ft tall, but its elegant wide-spreading umbrella-like canopy can be wider than its height. Gumohar is naturalized in India and is widely cultivated as a street tree.

Gulmohar Tales "Blossom": As far back my memory goes, I have been fascinated by Gulmohar (Royal poinciana) & I remember the every swaying Gulmohar in and around school since my childhood days. During spring when these flowers bloom to its full glory, almost every street in my hometown looked magical in a mixture of vermilion and saffron colour. This series is inspired from that happy memory of Gulmohar blooms that I carry. This is the second Painting in this series;"The Blossom". I have created a botanical pattern of gulmohar flower in this painting. Dimension: 7.4 x 7.4 inches Details: Watercolour painting is done on cold pressed 100% cotton archival grade watercolour paper with artist grade high lightfast paints. Sold without frame.
