SAL FLOWER


The Sal tree worshipped among Buddhists and Hindus in India and the adjoining countries.

The legend has it that the famous Lumbini tract where Lord Buddha had sat for meditation and acquired salvation constituted a thick forest of Sal trees.

I saw that tree and flower at Royal Palace in Phnom Phenn...so nice and unique, thai people call SALAK TREE or SALAK FLOWER...
