How the authors of this beloved dictionary would call a Guppy in Thai language?

Many thanks to authors of this beloved dictionary.

What you found, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, is not guppy. It's a plant.

Guppies are Poecilia reticulata.

However, you had the right word. See Wikipedia

Q.E.D.

Next spring I'll sent a nice mix of Turkish and Dutch tulips to David in Huston.

Hopefully the bulbs without ลุกยุง.
