Gulmohar flower seeds are typically housed within long, flattened, woody pods that mature and turn dark brown or black. The seeds themselves are relatively small, oval to oblong in shape, and hard-shelled, often with a mottled or speckled appearance. These seeds contain the genetic blueprint for the magnificent Gulmohar tree, famed for its flamboyant display of vibrant orange-red flowers. They require specific conditions, including warm temperatures and scarification (nicking or soaking), to break dormancy and germinate successfully, eventually growing into a majestic tree that graces tropical and subtropical landscapes with its fiery blooms.
