RAINBOW SHOWER - Cassia x nealiae. Fabaceae - the bean family
These pretty trees are the result of a man-made cross done in 1918. They became so popular that Mayor Neal Blaisell declared the rainbow shower tree the Official Tree of Honolulu in 1965.
This tree in Foster Garden is a 'Wilhelmina Tenney' cultivar, producing a bouquet of pink and yellow blossoms.
