They have started flowering here also In Pune Maharashtra.
Also seen flowering is one variety of pink cassia .....don't know whether it is Cassia javanica? I suppose.Pink Tabebuia  is also in flowering stage for last 3 weeks or so. and the yellow variety T.argentia is now in full bloom

Erythrina stricta or (BOOCH PANGARA in Marathi) is also flowering for last 10-15 days more seen in open countryside rather than in city. Its bark is rough with ridges as against smooth of E. variegata or E. indica

Hi Satish,
Erythrina suberosa is flowering rather profusely
now-a-days.It has a corky,deeply fissured bark. In
E.stricta the bark is covered with prickles as opposed
to E.indica which has a yellowish or greyish green
bark which peels off in papery flakes.
Regards,
Neil.

Corky in Marathi is BOOCH so the one I am talking about might be Erythrina suberosa.Mostly I have seen its trees  comparatively shorter in height as compared to E. stricta which is also seen outside city area. E. indica with greenish bark is commonly seen in Pune city........... last few years it was not flowering due to supposedly because of viral infection.Last year some flowers were observed but this year the scenario is still better with more number of flowers being observed. This was discussed probably earlier......any further comments welcome !!
