Amaltaas in Mauritius


Amaltaas (Cassia fistula) has a beautiful connection to my childhood. When I was a kid, we used to go to Lohia Park (originally named and still better known as Company Bagh) of Lucknow. The park was full of Amaltaas, which blossoms in summer months. We used to collect bag-full of the flowers and showered at each other those cool, soft, and colorful flowers. Every time I see Amaltaas, the child inside me runs to those Amaltaas of Company Bagh and showers me with a bag-full of cool. soft, and colorful memories!!
