Description
The Golden Showers flowering tree (Cassia fistula ) are so prolific that the bright green leaves of the tree are hardly visible when in full bloom. Golden Shower produces its flowers in summer. Photo taken in the Cayman Islands
The golden shower tree is the state flower of Kerala in India. The flowers are of ritual importance in the Vishu festival of the Kerala state of India, and the tree was depicted on a 20 Indian rupees stamp. The golden shower tree is the national flower of Thailand; its yellow flowers symbolize Thai royalty.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful flowering trees that just burst with color making it one of my personal favorites.
