Hi

I've got a couple of trees in blossom in my garden. One has purple/lilac blossoms. The other yellow blossoms and also long brown seed pods hanging down.

Can anyone tell me what these trees are called?

Thanks

the yellow one is called uvia de oro in mexico which translates to rain of gold and the other one might be a jacaranda.

Golden shower tree Cassia fistula and Tabebuia rosea.

That's great. Thanks for the info.

The golden shower tree is the national flower of Thailand; its yellow flowers symbolize Thai royalty. A 2006-2007 flower festival, the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek, was named after the tree, which is known in Thai as Ratchaphruek (Thai: ราชพฤกษ์) and the blossoms commonly referred to as dok khuen (Thai: ดอกคูน).

It is both the national flower and national tree of Thailand.

In Thailand it is often referred to as "The King's Tree" .
