In the Royal court, Champak was very famous flower which was usually used in handicraft works such as Thai fresh floral garland, Thai fresh floral hanging, etc. For flower preservation, it became known in King Rama V reign by Chao Chom Mom Rajawongse Sadab, the consort of King Rama V who initiated. At that time, there were a lot of Champak flowers around the royal court, as a result Chao Chom Mom Rajawongse Sadab wanted to keep fresh flowers last longer by soaked them in alum water for a month. In addition, she wanted to make the special souvenir to Queen Saovabha Phongsri, Queen of King Rama V. After the preservation, Champak flowers were still in a very beautiful and fresh condition; therefore it became popular as the offerings to Buddha.
