This book on flowering trees of the tropics displays the visual quality of trees and is intended to draw the attention of the common urban dweller to the beauty and majesty of the perennial flora, that dot the cities and country side. It is meant to make the passers by, aware of and make them stop by for a while and admire the beautiful creations of nature. The book contains in right proportion the interplay of pictures and explanations, adequate enough to titillate one's interest in trees and simultaneously satiate his curiosity to know more about the species. At a time when the growing population is rendering dense our habitations, and the climate change is only compounding the challenge, every citizen would do well to contribute to make a positive change.

The book Flamboyant Blooming Trees contributes to such a need by generating awareness and interest among the readers vis-a-vis the trees and enhancing their knowledge to make an informed decision about the right species to choose and plant at a place of their choice.
