Mango Blossoms



Who does not love sweet juicy ripe mangoes? It is always a treat to eat them. But enjoy its flowers? Yes, why not? They are a sight to behold! Chanced upon a tree that was heavy, not with its fruit yet, but with its inflorescence which seemed to light up an otherwise gloomy overcast afternoon. The tree was in such a profuse flowering state that there were flowers that reached as low as my waist -- which made it easy for me to snap away with my phone. Because they were within reach I marveled at the clusters of pastel daintiness emanating from sprigs of bright pink. So feminine and pretty!
