Sindh province of Pakistan bears a mixture of fertile and deserted land. Though the most populated city and provincial capital Karachi has very fewer trees among cemented forest all around, but Berna trees don’t forget to declare the change of season by budding pale white flowers. Berna trees can be seen at Parks, at private gardens or somewhere at roadsides across Sindh.

A generous flowering tree bearing red flowers at summers can be spotted at all provinces of Pakistan in summers.  Gul e nishter is everywhere, Whether you're travelling from Quetta to Peshawar or visiting relatives from Sindh to Punjab via train or bus. 
Every province spare glimpses of red or orange coral shape flowers at 30m high flush flowering tree. 

Many private gardens are meant to be incomplete without GUL E NISHTAR at parts of Punjab and Sindh. 

Gul e Nishtar and Gul mohar, flowering trees are also connected and are sacred  to many religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. These two famous flowering trees are widely found in tropical and subtropical lands. 

Flowering trees of KPK

This province of Pakistan has a world’ s most stunning hilly areas around Himalaya and Karakoram.

 The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are luckier to spot spring through blossoming of cherry buds. Cherry trees are now widely cultivated at parts of KPK.


JACARANDA TREE, PUNJAB AND KPK

Although Jacaranda is wild flowering tree bears purple flowers is native to continent of America, but Pakistan with its ample land type allows this tree to root up at forests, at roadsides and at parks to enhance the colors of nature at blazing summer from Islamabad to Swat Valley and from Jhelum to Sahiwal.

Jacaranda trees in Punjab fields. Jacaranda has been my personal favorite since childhood. It was fun to play with laid down purple petals from Jacaranda on roads of sector F-7 and F-6 in the capital city.

Islamabad, Murree, Ayubia, Gilyaat, Abbottabad natives rejoice spring by sighting white flora on Apricot trees by early March. This tree is planted at abundance at roadsides and lush green gardens of Islamabad and grown wild at Himalayan mountains which not only provides sweet apricots, shade but the most beautiful first sight of spring. 
To me, Apricot deserves the first prize for an announcement of spring, instead of cherishing cherry blossoms at the main parts of the world. 


Almond flowering trees of Baluchistan

People at Balochistan residing at highlands in Pakistan are luckier not only producing the world’s best almond but to view pinkish-white flowers as first spring sight at many cities like Zhob, Quetta, Dalbandin etc.

I would end with “beauty lies I,n the eyes of beholding".

 Flowering vines, roses and small plants unfold to colorful petals to declare the spring, but the bona fide bombshell of spring is given by jovial flowering trees. 

HAPPY SPRING/SUMMER
