Thailand Flowers

[miamia]

[b]A big hello to you all,

I have a quick question in regards to a name of a particular thailand flower. A friend and I are having a debate as to whether there actually is a Thai flower with the english interpretation being loza?? If you know of a flower by this name or are able to tell me that there is no such thing that would be great. Thanks heaps, miamia[/b]

Maybe better in the General topics section since we don't have a gardening section ---

But no, I have never heard of a flower named Loza in either English or Thai.

Is it a tropical flower that you have seen in Thailand? Can you describe it? Or give the name in Thai, as some of us may know the name in English.

try to search it for fun , all loza ,losa and loxa

found Clerodendrum chinense - English: Honolulu rose, stickbush, glory bower; Other: losa Honolulu, losa onolulu (American Samoa and Samoa); pikake hohono, pikake wauke (Hawai'i), pitate mama (Cook Islands)

in Thai called นางแย้ม (Nang-yaem)

ปิ้งชะมด (Ping-cha-mot)

ปิ้งช้อน (Ping-son)

ปิ้งสมุทร (Ping-sa-mut)

ส้วนใหญ่ (Suan-yai)

anyhow, you should give us more detail about that flower ..
