Be in awe of the picturesque sky of pink trumpets on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City

Pink trumpets have the same color as cherry blossoms, bell-shaped flowers, growing in clusters of 10-20 flowers. They have a gentle but proud beauty.

When the tree blooms, most of the leaves have fallen, leaving only the flower clusters on the branches rising, making a corner of the sky turn pink quite prominently in the middle of the street.

Since the appearance of some roads in the city every year to the blooming season, I also watch the most beautiful blooming time to take pictures of flowers from the trees and under the grass”, shared Ms. Hoa, who lives in District 3.
