Brilliant yellow phoenix flowers in Lam Dong

In early February, traveling on Highway 20 from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat, passing through Di Linh plateau, visitors can easily see the royal poinciana trees blooming yellow across the sky. In the photo is the royal poinciana tree in the campus of Le Loi Secondary School in Di Linh town.

Royal poinciana is grown in many places in Di Linh and Bao Loc of Lam Dong province. Flowers bloom from the beginning of the year until the end of March. Royal poinciana trees are in full bloom, with no green leaves. The flower tree seen from above in the school yard.

Fallen phoenix flowers create a brilliant yellow carpet in the yard of Le Loi school.

Mr. Trung Kien, a photographer from Ho Chi Minh City, was surprised to see the brilliant yellow phoenix flowers in early spring. "I have seen the pink and purple phoenix flowers, but now I have finally seen the yellow phoenix flowers. The best part is that the whole tree is full of flowers and has no leaves," said Mr. Kien.

Royal poinciana has a straight trunk and branches near the top. Each tip has more than a dozen main flower branches, each main branch has 6-8 secondary branches, each secondary branch has 30-40 buds, forming a flower cluster.

According to teachers at Le Loi School, this year the royal poinciana flowers bloom more beautifully and evenly, attracting many tourists to come and take souvenir photos.

Royal poinciana petals fell yellow all over the street. Many female students took their notebooks pressed with royal poinciana petals to pass around as memories of their school days.

"This is the third school year we have seen the yellow phoenix flowers blooming in front of the gate. Everyone is excited to take photos as souvenirs," said an 8th grade female student at Le Loi Secondary School.

The steps leading up to Pho Do Pagoda in Di Linh district are covered in golden phoenix flower petals.

About 30 km from Di Linh town, Bao Loc city also has many royal poinciana trees blooming at this time. Many photographers and tourists come to admire the beauty of the golden royal poinciana at Bat Nha Monastery, Bao Loc city.

Many trees stand alone among the green tea hills, creating a poetic scene that attracts tourists. According to the local government, there are currently about 15 golden phoenix trees in this area, concentrated on the road leading to Bat Nha Monastery, about 15 km from the center of Bao Loc City.

In addition to Bat Nha Monastery, golden phoenix trees are also planted in areas such as Tan Thanh Parish Church, Loc Thanh Commune; Bao Loc College of Technology and Economics; Asia Pacific High School (Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Ward 2)...

The yellow phoenix flower has become the inspiration for photographers and is considered the spring symbol of Bao Loc.
