Every May, we get to enjoy the delicate, yellow flowers on our golden rain tree in our backyard.
After blooming for a few days, there is a gentle shower of flowers each day.
If it is very windy, then it looks like golden rain!

I had never even heard of a golden rain tree before I bought 10 tree saplings for $10 about 25 years ago!
Two of them were golden rain trees.
Yes, you read that correctly, each sapling only cost me $1!
I planted both trees close together; thinking one would not survive!
I was wrong and until last year, both were thriving,.
My husband noticed that one had completely died back, so he cut it down to a stump.

The name doesn't sound so familiar but the tree looks like a flower that is common in my area. Greenish and good looking flowers.

But what really makes it golden is what I can't picture

The flowers are yellow, hence they are called "golden" and when the flowers fall it looks like "golden rain". They are also called pride of India, China tree, or varnish tree in other countries.

That's so nice. Thanks for the information.

What a fantastic name for a tree. I love when the petals fall from the chestnut trees around here ... like a warm snow:) Beautiful share, Violet:)

Wow, must be peaceful to sit out back and drink coffee or tea and read a book under it :)

Yes, it is nice, early in the day, since we already have 95 degree days!!

I never seen golden rain before. Is it have fruit?

No, it just makes a pretty seedpod behind the flower.

I try to find information on google about golden rain when I see your post. I like golden rain because it very beautiful. Sorry my english is not perfect

My days are full of flowers! I work in the garden every day, its a very big garden!

Sounds great!

That must be some view when it rains yellow. Love when in spring all the blooming trees start losing the flowers and the petals just flyyyy away :)

They are certainly lovely!

Beautiful sight to behold.

They certainly are pretty!
