This year, the rosy trumpet bloomed earlier than in previous years. Since the end of January, the pink color of Saigon’s trumpet flowers has covered all the streets. That pink color is as beautiful as the cherry-like apricot blossoms in Da Lat.
Romantic roads
Originating in America, rosy trumpet flowers often bloom in groups of five to ten. The blooming period lasts from early April through June. The flowers will be a light purple-pink color when they first bloom.
When the plant is flowering, most leaves fall from its branches, leaving just clusters of pink, trumpet-shaped flowers.
The flowers will turn a soft pink color just before they wither. Therefore, the plant is compared to the Vietnamese version of cherry blossoms.

Rosy trumpet trees can grow in the region’s hot weather and dry soil, so they were imported into and planted in HCMC in 2009 as part of a beautification effort.
The rosy trumpet blossoms add a distinct poetic beauty to the city’s streets, transforming ordinary streets into romantic ones.

Admiring flowers and taking photos in HCMC
In HCMC, the blooming trees can be easily spotted on such streets as Dien Bien Phu in Binh Thanh District, Vo Thi Sau in District 3, Vo Van Kiet in District 1, Ham Nghi in District 1, etc. The pinkish flowers of the rosy trumpet trees are set against the blue background of the sky in Ho Chi Minh City, creating a mesmerizing scene.
The best time to photograph rosy trumpet flowers is in the morning when the sun is still soft and the flowers are at their brightest.

People can feel happier and more at ease in their hearts by standing in a corner in the early morning or late afternoon and admiring the flower’s sway beneath the sun’s rays.
Rose trumpet trees have become one of the symbols of HCMC in the minds of locals.
