Albizia Julibrissin: Mimosa or Silk tree as it is more commonly known, grows everywhere in India. Unlike ours back here in Virginia, the blossoms are almost all magenta, where ours is mostly white with light pink tips. The leaves are a bit different also, being a bit larger and more space between each set.
We saw these in Bangalore in 2011 and the trees can get massive, covering an entire city block with it's ever spreading branches.
