I love this tree. I always think the pods would make a great shape for earrings. http://psychotropia.co/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Acacia-auriculiformis.jpg. This is a great image of the flower

Beautiful pods, did you happen to see the seeds?
injica
I'll try to coz at the very moment i'm thousands miles away ;)

You're welcome. Hopefully it will bloom soon and you can post pics of the flowers to help confirm the ID.

Hi injica, the ID I gave you is based on the extreme curve in the seed pods and that A. auriculiformis is one of the widely planted Acacia's in India.
