Chiang Mai in Yellow and Orange

Two different kinds of trees are bringing spectacular color to Chiang Mai right now. In unexpected places there is a sudden burst of orange or yellow.






Someone told me the names in Thai but wasn't sure. M said someone told her the yellow ones were 'dry wind' trees, which is the English translation of what I was told was the name of the yellow trees. So I still have to double check on that.
















This tree looks small next to the building, but if you look, you can see it reaches to the fourth floor.





This one was in a yard on my way to work.













This orange tree is at Wat (temple) Ramphoeng.




This yellow tree is right near the last orange one at Wat Ramphoeng.























And, of course, orange flowers are dropping down on everything below too.
