Hello friends, I saw a kind of tree at Wat Khanon Nang Yai, on the way up to see the Nang Yai Museum of Wat Khanon. It looked strange and beautiful, and it had flowers that looked like lotus flowers. Let’s get to know a kind of tree called Bua Sawan, a medium to large shrub, 1-3 meters tall. The leaves are long and oval-shaped, with a pointed tip, 40-50 centimeters long. The leaf blades are long and narrow to the base of the leaf, and there is no petiole. The flowers bloom in the axils of the branches as single flowers. The petals are separated, but wrapped in layers. They are dark pink, similar to lotus flowers. Inside, there are many stamens, which are bent towards the center of the flower. They have a slight fragrance. The flowers wither into fruit with a cut tip, and there are seeds inside. It is a plant that is propagated by seeds.
