Stunning rosy trumpet trees turn CMT8 Street pink in Tran Bien Ward

These days, a section of Cach Mang Thang Tam (CMT8) Street in Tran Bien ward, near the Song Pho Square roundabout and the Provincial People’s Committee headquarters, appears draped in a ribbon of pink as rows of rosy trumpet trees burst into bloom, weaving a radiant canopy across the sky.

Under the gentle sunshine of the early Southern spring, the fragile pink clusters sway lightly in the breeze, bringing a sudden calm to passers-by. Indeed, few can hurry through this stretch of road at this time of year; instead, many slow down or pause to take in the romantic scenery that graces the city only once each season.

Huynh Thi Thanh Xuan, whose home faces CMT8 Street, shared that standing on her balcony, gazing at the brilliant pink blossoms, is a feeling hard to put into words. “Amid the hectic pace of urban life in the early days of spring, the vivid pink suddenly fills one’s vision, making even a heart weighed down by worries feel unexpectedly light and gentle,” she said.

Rosy trumpet trees are medium-sized woody plants native to Central and South America. In Vietnam, however, they have become a seasonal visual highlight during the dry season, especially in Southern urban areas, where their brief yet spectacular bloom adds a distinctive charm to the cityscape.
