Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted January 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2014 This beautiful huge old tree was too big to fit in one frame and so I had to make a panoramic photo of it. Hope the upload works 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rob8891 Posted February 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2014 There's a story behind this tree....something about it being one of three that protect Chiang Mai... It'd certainly spoil your day if it fell on you! This doesn't really convey just how big it is... so there's another challenge for me.

The latin name is Delonix regina and is a Rainforest native to Madagascar (I looked the source up) , i thought it was Malaysia and India . I learnt the common name as being Poiceiana . Beautiful tree ,often used as a street tree in Brisbane and further north in Oz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame of the Forest Butea monospermaThis tree gets up to 50 ft high, with stunning flower clusters. It loses its leaves as the flowers develop, January - March. http://www.plantcreations.com/butea_monosperma.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Butea Superba according to a google search is used for erectile dysfunctional problems , a natural Viagra in other words. Of course that use would be of no interest to any of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
