▪︎Due to thunderstorm a Gulmohar tree fell down inside the Infocity campus. Baba (Father) remembered I cooked a few dishes from its flower and buds, so he brought a bunch of this flower. Though I had no plans to document it again due to my tight schedule but it all happened due to the above reason. It tastes tangy and a little fruity in taste & yes they are edible and consumed in northern parts of India. Few locations in Bhubaneswar have this ornamental tree as an avenue plantation which starts flowering from April till June creating a flamboyant display of orange-red flowers over summer. ▪︎Botanically called as Delonix regia. Commonly named as FLAME TREE due to its appearance (one of several species given this name). ▪︎Some people believe that Jesus Christ was crucified next to this tree & his blood was shed over the flowers, giving them their flame-coloured petals. ▪︎Interestingly enough, flowers are also called as Royal Peacock flower & in Odia known as "KRUSHNACHUDA"(since peacock feather is crowned in lord Krishna's hair). BENEFITS: ▪︎Royal poinciana is well known for its beautiful flowers but its leaves, stems & flowers have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties which have been used as an effective cure for arthritis and constipation. ▪︎Flowers has significant amount of phenol & flavonoids. ▪︎Phenol helps to disinfect skin & to relieve itching. ▪︎Its flower consisted of high amount of anthocyanins pigment which are a type of flavonoid, a plant metabolite with antioxidant effects. #gulmohar #peacockflower #royalpoinciana #krushnachuda #summerflowers
