Awesome. may the name of Bangalore live long. i pray that the authorities bring back the glory of this land by planting more and more trees. We too as a citizen must plant trees where ever possible.
Thanks for this lovely and informative video ! On my bus ride in to the heart of Bengaluru , I was delighted to see pale pink Tabebuias , Jacarandas , mauve Lagastrema , fiery red Gul Mohors ! ( Sorry , some of the spellings are definitely wonky !!) A lovely scene ! The Rain Trees are in bloom , too ! A sort of Nature Ride , indeed !❤🎉😊
Messrs. Thiruvady & Pai, Thank you for providing an invaluable compendium of superbly interesting information about the Tabebuias. I look forward to more such posts.
I was really looking for such local content! Thank you so much dear Bengalureans for making the city known and doing such wonderful research on its history and how we are affected by it today. Much love, Yogada, resident of Bengaluru
Thank you... Was looking for answers about a flowering tree and got them here... perhaps jacaranda is also one such import from Brazil..! Love the curiosity and living with mindfulness.. This is what it means to be alive... To live in the moment . To be conscious of everything around us
Thanks for sharing so much info on Tabebuias. Didn’t know they were brought from Brazil by Krumbigiel. I was so impressed when I saw the bloom in March, that I planted 2 saplings near my house at Vasanthapura on 01 Apr. Waiting to see the colours of the flower whenever they bloom. Thanks again for the video🙏🙏
Krumbiegel was initially an apprentice at Pillsnitz before working as a horticulturist at Hamburg in Germany. He received his finishing at the world famous Kew Gardens in London and was brought to India by HH the Gaekwad of Baroda after which HH the Wadeyar of Mysore took him into his employ and gave him carte blanche in Mysore, Bangalore AND British (Madras Presidency) Ootcamund. By German qualification an architect and town planner he also left his stamp on the town planning and architecture in Mysore and Bangalore. As he was a German he invited the ire of the British and the Maharaja was unable to install the Statue of Krumbigel in an appropriate place of distinction. The statue still languishes in the Mysore Palace. Once the British left, their successors were even worse than the British and so the works of Great Maharajas and their salubrious rule in Mysore, Travancore, Baroda, Kohlapur, Puri and so on were extinguished. It would be good if the present Government that has sloughed the miasma of the Gandhi-Nehru Congress honours Krumbigel by installing his statue for the great and perennial beauty he has bestowed upon Mysore and Bangalore. But alas, there is a considerable lack of gratitude and sense of History these days. For example they have renamed Cubbon Park as Chamaraja Park quite unwitting that it was His Highness Chamaraja Wadeyar who named the park as Cubbon Park in honour of his mentor, the man who restored Mysore to its former Vijayanagar glory after the British destroyed the Islamic Tyranny and personally obtained its self rule from Lord Cornwallis averting its fall into the maws of the Madras Presidency. During my childhood we had a wide variety of flowering trees. We used to call them the march of flowers and the Tabebuia was consigned to its place by Cassias, Jacarandas, Gul Mohars, Flame of the Forest Mango trees that bore many coloured flowers rather than fruit and so many others.
Thanks for your post - we agree. Incidentally, Vijay Thiruvady has written a book on Lalbagh where he has elaborated on this and more over 30 pages. The book is called "Lalbagh: From Sultan's Garden to Public Park" and is available on Amazon, and also at several bookstores on Church Street, Bengaluru
Such an excellent tribute, Arun to the person responsible for such extended beauty in one of our beautiful cities. With no better person than Vijay to share the history of their original journey with us. Thank you 😊 👍
So spectacular! And you brought this episode at the absolute right time when the Tabebuias are in full bloom all over Bangalore. Are the trees increasing in number? Dont remember seeing so many all over the city some years ago. Excellent episode Thank You
We have one on our driveway . , blooming for the first time ever , I think !.. Nobody's sure who planted it , and when ! Perhaps it was self sown like the many Spathodeas ?❤🎉😊
Beautifully made video! As a local I myself didn’t know about this history Thanks for making this video Just a suggestion - pls reduce the background music while narrating/ speaking
भारत में किलोमीटर के हिसाब से हर घंटे हाईवे बनाने के लिए पेड़ काटे जा रहे हैं पर भारतीयों ने कितने पेड़ लगाए ? एक विदेशी आता है और पेड़ लगाकर विदेश की धरती सजाता है लेकिन भारतीय अपनी ही धरती को बंजर बनाने में लगे हुए हैं।
Awesome. may the name of Bangalore live long. i pray that the authorities bring back the glory of this land by planting more and more trees. We too as a citizen must plant trees where ever possible.

Wow ! Great history ! Thank you Sir !
@@MrSridharMurthy You are most welcome, your grace.
That's really fascinating to know! Great narration! I loved the way you threw the light on the subject!

Thank you. But sadly everything related to Gustav Krumbeigal is demolished in Lalbagh. He lives there.
I think he lives all over Bengaluru , judging by the lovely flowering trees I enjoyed seeing today !❤❤❤

We agree, it is extremely unfortunate. Hope these videos make us appreciate our green wealth more.
Call it Bengaluru
Please kindly turn off the background music, it’s hard to concentrate on the conversation.
