The RATCHAPRUEK: The Thai National Flower
.jpg)
The Thai people regard its yellow hue as the colour of Buddhism and the colour of glory. Ratchaphruek blooms annually from February to May and symbolises the unity and harmony of the Thai people. While the flowers are blossoming, the tree sheds its leaves, leaving only bright yellow flowers hanging on its branches. The Ratchaphruek is widely known in Thailand and is grown in abundance along the roadsides.

Well, you learn something new every day. I always presumed the Thai national flower was the Orchid.
Singapore and Indonesia already has orchids as a ntional flower.
Aside from its color (signifies the King), these flowers are more abundant in Thailand than orchids.
Wow surprising my national flower is the orchid I love Augsburg as I am from sg!!!
