“Quite early this time. Pink trumpets and Jacaranda trees usually bloom in their full glory only in late March or early April followed to the flaming red gulmohar,” commented a user.

“This is looking so good,” wrote another user while a third user commented, “Gorgeous.”

The post has been filled with comments like beautiful, gorgeous, mesmerizing etc. However, many social media users expressed dissatisfaction over the cutting down of valuable trees for road expansion.

“No worries, our BBMP will axe them next year,” wrote a user while another wrote, “no worries, you can cut them for making 2 lane flyover or underpass and once it’s ready after 7 years, you will realize that oh, we need to widen the flyover then cut more trees.”

Another user wrote, “This is looking so good, but BBMP will cut them soon.” 

“Chill guys, no one is going to enjoy this, we need to focus on potholes, can’t see even straight while driving,” commented another user.
