A techie built an application called Bengaluru Bloom to map the city\u2019s iconic pink Tabebuia blooms in great detail, and the internet is absolutely loving it.<\/p>\n
What began as a personal hobby of photographing Bengaluru\u2019s seasonal pink flower trees turned into a full-fledged mapping project. The brains behind the app, Malavika, shared her invention in a now-viral post on X.<\/p>\n
In the caption, she explained that as a big fan of the city\u2019s pink blooms, she would click pictures of the trees whenever she spotted them. That curiosity soon led her to do some research and plot them on a map.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are around 27k Tabebuia rosea trees in Bangalore currently,\u201d she wrote, revealing the scale of the floral footprint across the city.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She also shared a visual map dotted densely with pink markers, representing the locations of tabebuia rosea trees across Bengaluru. The concentration appears especially thick in certain neighbourhoods, transforming the city\u2019s layout into what looks like a blossom-filled canvas.<\/p>\n
Tabebuia rosea, often referred to as the \u201cpink trumpet tree,\u201d briefly transforms parts of Bengaluru into pastel corridors each year before the petals fall and carpet the streets below.<\/p>\n
Alongside the map, she included photographs of the trees in full bloom, with soft pink clusters lining streets, rising above traffic signals, and arching over roads in a seasonal spectacle.<\/p>\n

The project was agreeably loved by social media users who eagerly awaited the annual blooming season, as they praised both the idea and its execution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a creative idea! I love flowers and maps — how fun to combine the two,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n
Another added, \u201cI was looking for exactly this earlier today to plan a couple of drone shots. Thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Some users also shared pictures of the pink blossoms around the city which they clicked, appreciating its scenic beauty.<\/p>\n
Several users also pointed out how the application would help them plan photographic walks, cycling routes, and scenic drives during bloom season. Others appreciated the project as a blend of tech, nature, and urban curiosity.<\/p>\n
