Angsana

Pterocarpus Indicus (also known as Burmese Rosewood)

There are many Angsana trees in Singapore that line our roads and that grow to towering heights. I have seen these trees flowering occasionally, usually when I am driving thus having no chance to photograph them except for this one time when I was crossing an overhead bridge and viola, finally I got to see the flowers at close range. Found in Malaysia, Philippines, Borneo, Burma and New Guinea.
