As May arrives, the golden blossoms of the Cassia fistula tree bloom profusely along every street in the capital.
The roads along West Lake are being dyed yellow by the golden shower trees, adding a vibrant touch to Hanoi's streets.
The golden shower tree is a woody plant, making it a popular choice for planting as a shade tree and for beautifying the landscape in streets and urban areas.
This flower originates from South Asia and has many other names such as Queen's Cassia, Lantern Flower, Water Scorpion, Golden Scorpion, Vine Plum, Late Spring Tree, Late Blooming Plum...
This is the national flower of Thailand. In the Land of Smiles, the Queen's Cassia is called dok khuen - the color of the flower symbolizes the Thai Royal Family.
The flowers usually grow in large clusters, in the form of drooping branches 20-40 cm long. The petals are oval-shaped, with a smooth, hairy surface.
This flower is widely planted along Hanoi's streets such as Thanh Nien, Nguyen Dinh Thi, Trich Sai, and Ngoai Giao Doan, creating a vibrant splash of color every summer.
The flowers bloom for about 3 months (from May to July), but they are at their most beautiful in May.
The golden shower trees display their vibrant yellow blossoms under the clear blue sky of Hanoi.
When in full bloom, the golden shower tree is extremely prolific in flowering and has a very eye-catching bright yellow color.
These flowers bloom at the same time as lotus flowers, the vibrant red of flamboyant trees, and the deep purple of crape myrtle, creating a romantic scene that heralds the arrival of summer.
