Help me identify this plant @treefrog44 is this Popcorn Cassia or Empress Candle Tree? Spotted in Bangkok earlier 13/3/2018

It's the Empress candle tree... you can tell the difference by the leaves (they are wider) and the seed pods :) How is the holiday going?

Brilliant👍 Thanks Theresa. I knew you would know 😆 This will come as no surprise, that I have acquired a few seeds from it 😉 The holiday is going great thanks. A little hot at 30C+ after snow back home when setting off! @treefrog44

We’ll have “a great, couldn’t be better time” I have some sweet potato vines eating for you when you get home and some hybiscus seeds. Still haven’t sent any to others too. There coming soon. We’re enjoying the pics 😊💕

Thank you Terri 💕 Always enjoy it here & likely to be a winter retreat after I retire. Can get a little hot though at times as no doubt your sister says! @terrimclaughlin

It looks like a plant we have here locally. It's called candelabra.

Yes, the Empress Candle Tree. I saw some in Wichita last September & they were awsome. Not sure if I'll ever get one to flower in the UK though 😕 but will be giving it a try @ripjuju
