Pink Flowers from the Eastern Himalayas – A Photo Series

I saw these very bright and beautiful pink flowers during my visit to the Himalayan Zoological Park in Sikkim. These flowers seemed to be growing on a sturdy type of tree with equally strong branches. Does anyone know their name (local or biological)?

  2. Beautiful flowers, man... I would really love to go to the Himalayas and see the for myself! They sure do look beautiful! :) haha Anyway, today I had a big luck and want to share it with everyone - I finally found a way to make cheap calls to my cousin Becky in Australia:

  3. Awesome! I want to visit the temples of Shao-Lin.
    I've been told that it is the most peaceful place in the world.
    That is my childhood dream.
    Anyway great pictures.

  4. hey...I was searching for pink flowers in Sikkim n came across ur pics....were these taken in nov- dec? or during spring? the ones that bloom in winter are locally called "pun-yun". i don't know their biological name...was in fact searching for the same. and if they were taken in summer...they are most likely peach blossoms...they look very similar...but i'm guessing these are "pun-yun"...

  5. I think these pictures were taken around Sep-Oct. Thank you for letting me know the common name of these pink flowers.
