This lovable plant is highly important to Thailand.
In 2001, Cassia fistula Linn was officially named Thailand’s national flower. This bright yellow flower grows on trees that are named Cassia fistula (C. fistula). You can see them throughout the country and in several nearby nations as well. Some people call the plant golden shower tree because the flowers grow in small groups and fall gently from branches like raindrops.
C. fistula is also known as Ratchaphruek, which translates to “royal tree.” The flower of it is connected to one of Thailand’s most respected leaders, the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. In Thai culture, each day of the week is linked to a particular color. The King was born on a Monday, so the color yellow is related to him. The color yellow is also associated with Buddhism, Thailand’s most widely practiced religion.
