Golden Shower Tree (Cassia fistula)

Golden Shower Tree

 I have seen a few of these Golden Shower Trees near the UH Manoa Campus and by my house near Kahala. It was never the right time to take a picture of my own, but this picture I found really displays the beauty of the golden hue. Other than the amazing color that contrasts nicely against the blue sky, this ornamental tree is also known for it's bad smelling pods of seeds known as the fruit. It is an extremely low maintenance tree that thrives perfectly in warm climate. This tree also creates a lot of rubbish once the flowers start to fall.
