"Cannonball tree" (Couroupita guianensis)


Queen Sirikit Park - Cannonball tree

Its fruits are huge in size - actually it is said that can eat them,
but usually people give them to animals because they are too smelly

May be people grow them for their large fragrant flowers!

Good thing about Botanical Garden: many trees and plants have signs
with names and descriptions

Example: information is in Thai, English and Latin


Queen Sirikit Park - Cassia fistula

Some are rare plants, such as this "Thai Bauhinia" vine or climber -
with beautiful and fragrant flowers


Queen Sirikit Park - Bauhinia winitii

its flowers are too high on the top of tree canopy,
hard too reach - could get only 1 single fallen petal! :)
