Common name: Pink shower tree, Pink cassia
Botanical name: Cassia bakeriana Family: Caesalpiniaceae (Gulmohar family)
Native to SE Asia, Pink shower tree is a showy ornamental tree. Pink
flowers, which resemble the yellow flowers of the Indian Laburnum, appear
as if the long branches were wrapped in them, attracting bees and butterflies.
Requires regular irrigation. Wind resistant, since branches are
very flexible. Perfect choice for small yards and patios, nice container
plant.
