ノウゼンの花 (trumpet tree flower)

日本人からはタイ桜とも呼ばれるモモイロノウゼン：Pink trumpet tree（タイではchompoo pantipと呼ばれる）の花が綺麗に咲き始めた。この花については去年も記事に書いた。木によって咲く時期や花色が少しずつ違っているのかもしれないが、今年のほうが去年より、花の付くのが早く、花色も濃いような気がする。花の形は英名のとおり、トランペットの形をしていて日本の桜とは随分違うが、遠くから見ると薄桃色の花に包まれた木の形ががちょっと桜に似ている。

It is now beginning blooming season for pink trumpet tree, called as chompoo pantip in Thai and some times called Thai-cherry by Japanese in Thailand.　It is now beginning blooming season pink trumpet tree, called as chompoo pantip in Thai and some times called Thai-cherry by Japanese in Thailand.　I wrote an article on this flower last year. I suppose blooming time and color of flower seems a little bit different in each individual tree, but blooming season come earlier and color could be vivid than last year. Shape of flower looks like trumpet as name it is and completely different from cheery blossom but whole figure of tree with pink flower looks like cherry. I wrote an article on this flower last year.

別の場所に咲いていた濃い黄色の花は、枝の先に黄色い花が固まって咲いていて、こちらは遠目には、ミモザの花かと思ったが、やはり花を良く見ると、トランペットの形をしており、こちらはGolden trumpet tree 　（日本語ではコガネノウゼン）というらしい。
どちらも中南米原産で、Golden trumpet treeのこの濃い黄色も結構目立つのだが、綺麗だと思うのだが、バンコクでは、あまりメジャーではないようだ。黄色の花ではやはりこれからシーズンを迎えるGolden showerが国花でもあり、ずっとタイ人には人気がありそう。

Another tree flower of yellow, it is also very catchy yellow color and I think it could be mimosa when I saw first time since the round flower figure at the tip of branch looks similar, but I realized shape of flower was different. And I learned it is called gold trumpet tree.
These two trumpet trees are originated from mid-south America and I love these flower trees. But golden trumpet tree is not so popular since as yellow flower, golden shower is much popular since it is a national flower of Thai.
