  dok rak

 

Thailand

Dok rak or 'love flowers' are the quadrangular, bell-shaped crowns of the crown flower.

 

They are typically used as dok suam, to make u-ba, flower bunches, that in turn are used to be hung from garlands, called puang malai, as well as for the making of decorative net or frame-like constructions of stringed flowers arrangements.
