Golden shower tree covers West Lake in yellow

In May, the yellow color of royal poinciana flowers blooms on every street of the capital.

Along the roads around West Lake, the yellow cassia flowers are dyed yellow, adding brilliance to the streets of Hanoi.

Royal poinciana is a woody plant so it is chosen to be planted as a shade tree, beautifying the landscape on streets and urban areas.

This flower originates from South Asia, with many other names such as royal poinciana, lantern flower, water scorpion, yellow scorpion, apricot vine, late spring tree, late blooming apricot...

This is the national flower of Thailand. In the Land of Golden Pagodas, the royal poinciana is called dok khuen - the flower color symbolizes the Thai Royal Family.

Flowers often form large clusters, drooping branches 20 - 40 cm long. Petals are oval, the outer surface is covered with smooth hairs.

This flower is grown a lot on the streets of Hanoi such as Thanh Nien, Nguyen Dinh Thi, Trich Sai, Ngoai Giao Doan... creating a brilliant array of colors every summer.

The flowers bloom for about 3 months (from May to July) but are most beautiful in May.

Royal poinciana flowers show off their yellow color under the blue sky of Hanoi.

When in full bloom, the royal poinciana has a very eye-catching bright yellow color and is extremely full of flowers.

This flower blooms at the same time as lotus flowers, the bright red of royal poinciana flowers, and the purple of lagerstroemia flowers create a romantic scene, signaling the arrival of summer.
