Those flowers are remarkably colorful. The specimens in our vicinity tend towards a more pale orange.

Nice pictures. Here in South Florida (USA) the tree grows well, and is native to the nearby West Indies. Unfortunately, the Geiger beetle (Eurypepla colochroma) makes a shaggy mess out of the foliage of most local trees. Ken Greby Palmetto Bay, Florida USA --- On Tue, 6/24/08, J.M.

A member of Boraginaceae family.
Beautiful scarlet red flowers.
This tree has flowers almost throughout the year.That is why it is a very popular ornamental tree in households in Pune.
Even it doesn't grow to big heights and the flowers are visible at eye level.
I have never seen any infestation on this tree may be because the Geiger beetle is not native to our country.
For details of the family refer to the family of the week Boraginaceae
