Pink lilies originate from Central and South America and are also known as pink bellflowers, because the flower shape resembles a small bell. This flower grows in clusters of 4 to 7 flowers. Photo: Quynh Mai

Before appearing widely in Ho Chi Minh City, pink lilies were tested from 2009. Usually, flowers will bloom profusely from about April to June. This year, the color of flowers blooms most brilliantly at the end of May. Photo: Quynh Mai

Each flower blooming season, most of the leaves on the tree gradually turn yellow and fall down, giving way to clusters of flowers covering the branches. The flower color is uneven, thick at the top and gradually turning to soft pink in the lower clusters. Photo: Quynh Mai

Looking back from afar, the canopies are like pink clouds hanging on the streets. Many people still compare pink trumpets to "Saigon cherry blossoms". Photo: Quynh Mai

These days, roads such as Dien Bien Phu, Ham Nghi, Le Loi or Vo Van Kiet Avenue (section near Nguyen Tri Phuong bridge and Saigon river tunnel) are becoming the focus of attention. Photo: Quynh Mai

In particular, Vo Thi Sau street, the section running through the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House, became the most attractive "pink coordinates". Morning sunlight shines directly on the pale rose, creating a prominent highlight for the road that is always dense with vehicles. Photo: Quynh Mai

Quynh Mai, a resident living in Saigon, shared: "I started my street stroll to see flowers from early morning on Dien Bien Phu street and then turned through Vo Thi Sau intersection. Here, the color of flowers covers a large canopy right at the intersection, standing out against the dark green leaves and bustling urban scenery". Photo: Quynh Mai

Further than the city center, Wonderland Park has a different color. Pink trumpets bloom here concentrated in large, round clusters and thick wings like suspended pink balls. People come here not only to take check-in photos but also to take pets for a walk, or simply to find a relaxing corner to escape the hustle and bustle of life. Photo: Quynh Mai
