📷ColorChallenge Wednesday Yellow : Golden Shower Tree

Hiii Frinds,

Today I'm presenting Golden Shower Tree (Cassia Fistula), Family Fabaceae specially for #ColorChallenge contest.

This is my entry for #colorchallenge Wednesday Yellow.#colorchallenge is a contest initiated by @kalemandra.

The species is native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions of Southeast Asia. It is the state flower of Kerala in India. It is a popular ornamental plant and is also used in herbal medicine. In ancient Tamil literature, it is called (kondrai) and is closely associated with the Mullai (forest) region of Sangam landscape. It is the national tree of Thailand, and its flower is Thailand's national flower.

The golden shower tree is a medium-sized tree, growing to 10-20 m. The leaves are deciduous, 15-60 cm (5.9-23.6 in) long, and pinnate with three to eight pairs of leaflets, each leaflet 7-21 cm (2.8-8.3 in) long and 4-9 cm (1.6-3.5 in) broad. The flowers are produced in pendulous racemes 20-40 cm (7.9-15.7 in) long, each flower 4-7 cm (1.6-2.8 in) diameter with five yellow petals of equal size and shape. The tree has strong and very durable wood, and has been used to construct "Ahala Kanuwa", a place at Adams Peak, Sri Lanka, which is made of Cassia fistula heartwood.
