This is the time for mango trees to flower. We see flowers on our trees but nothing compared to what we see on our neighbour's tree.
That tree is packed with flowers and the strange part is they are not there. The house is locked. And occasionally some relatives come and clean up the compound. Soon kids from the neighbourhood will claim those mangoes even before they are ready for plucking.
Don't blame me that my eyes go there and not being able to resist taking this picture

@allknowing I have noticed that you get a high yield every alternate year. Maybe yours will do well next year.

Since it is locked up there I wonder why the flowers look so good.

@Hannihar When they start showing kids around will pluck them - sometimes even tiny ones are picked.

Somebody must take care of it so they grow. What do you think?

@allknowing 
Is your drumstick tree bloomed or not? I remember, in these days, we collect the flowers from the floor to make dish adding coconut on it (those who are falling on ground).
