I hoped to see Kankaw flowers when the next summer came. But it did not bloom. However Thai Kankaws supposed to be bloomed in every season, they preferred hot weather. If I were lucky, it would bloom again in the winter that year, after the rainy season. But no buds were coming. I had to wait next summer. <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial'; font-size: 14.0pt;\">Three months before this summer, I saw many buds were coming at the tree.
