| The flowers of the golden shower trees, scientifically known as Cassia fistula, are beginning to bloom and fill the streets of Hanoi with a vibrant yellow colour. |
 |
| Together with bang lang, the crape myrtle, and phuong vi, the flamboyant flower, golden shower trees help make the summer more colourful and the streets feel far more poetic. |
 |
| The yellow buds form in bunches measuring between 20 and 40 centimetres. |
 |
| The golden shower is the national flower of Thailand. |
 |
| The flowers can be seen in full bloom from May until July. |
