Dear Friend,
" Probably no plant in the world presents so gorgeous an appearance as Bignonia venusta( Golden Shower )when it is in full bloom during Jan-Feb"
This certificate is taken from " SOME BEAUTIFUL INDIAN CLIMBERS AND SHRUBS ",by N L Bor and M B Raizada.I agree .
I first saw the plant in full bloom at Military Hospital at Dehradun.I have seen the plant at Pachmarhi,Tezpur and many places at North Bengal.I brought a sapling from Tezpur to Cooch Behar.It is in full bloom now .Sunbirds visit the plant for nectar.Attaching two images of the plant.In the second image male of a Yellowbacked Sunbird is on the flower.You may be familiar with this type of scene.
Regards
Col (Retd) Bimal Sarkar
