Why is Bengaluru turning golden? Yellow Trumpet blooms paint the city this summer

As summer sets in, Bengaluru is witnessing a stunning burst of yellow trumpet flowers, with parks and streets glowing in golden hues, drawing crowds and nature lovers across the city.

Bengaluru has turned into a sea of golden yellow as yellow trumpet flowers burst into full bloom across the city, marking the arrival of the summer season. From busy streets to green public spaces, the bright blossoms are creating a visual spectacle that is winning hearts everywhere.

Known for their striking trumpet or bell-shaped flowers, yellow trumpet trees are currently in peak bloom, adding unmatched charm to the city’s landscape. The scientific name of this ornamental plant is Tecoma stans, and it is famous for flowering abundantly at the onset of summer.

The vibrant blooms can be seen in large numbers across several prominent locations, including Cubbon Park and Lalbagh Botanical Garden, along with avenues, residential layouts, and traffic islands. The sight of entire trees covered in bright yellow flowers has turned daily commutes into delightful experiences.

Residents and visitors are stopping to admire and photograph the blooms, with many sharing images and videos on social media, celebrating Bengaluru’s seasonal beauty.
The yellow trumpet tree is an ornamental species known for its tubular or bell-shaped flowers and sparse foliage during the flowering season. When the flowers bloom, the tree often has very few leaves, making the bright yellow blossoms stand out even more vividly.

Botanists explain that the tree flowers mainly during the early summer months, making it a seasonal highlight. Its ability to thrive in urban conditions has made it a popular choice for landscaping across Bengaluru.
