HCM City: Rosy trumpet trees turn streets pink

Tabebuia rosea, also known as pink poui and rosy trumpet trees, are in full bloom in many streets of Ho Chi Minh City, creating poetic scenes.

The flowers originate from the Americas, and have been experimentally planted in Ho Chi Minh City since 2009. Their colour is similar to that of cherry blossoms. The flowers bloom in April and last until June. (Photo: Tin tuc newspaper/VNA)
