On March 3, while hurrying on the roads, we suddenly saw purple petals that were falling with each wind that flew past our eye level. Involuntarily looking up. Well, it turns out that the purple phoenix season has returned to Dalat.
At that moment, when the dreamy purple color flooded into his eyes and mind, his footsteps suddenly slowed down, his thoughts were forgotten. I kind of melted into another world. A world of collusion, brilliance and love of life. As it turned out, the soul that seemed to wither from this ordinary worries would still be disturbed by such little beautiful things.
The purple phoenix trees in Dalat, some trees are 60 years old. The shaggy root is tens of meters high, the branches of the canopy stretch as if to embrace the whole earth and sky. By spring, millions of soft inflorescences bloom. The purple color is not too light, not too dark, enough to still stand out, but still brings a savage, dreamy feeling full of romance.
The purple phoenix, scientifically known as Jacaranda acutifolia, is native to South America. This plant has been cultivated in Da Lat since the 1970s. Blooming flowers usually bloom in 3 months and last until early summer. The leaves are shaped like phoenixes, however the flowers are tubular, each flower can be 4-5 cm long and bloom in clusters.
Visitors to Da Lat can visit the most blooming flower routes such as Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street, along Xuan Huong lake, Tran Khanh Du street, Nguyen Luong Bang or Ngoc Duc Widow.
Under the pleasant spring weather and the blue sky of Dalat, raise the camera to take a few pictures, each of which is beautiful. Or simply sitting on the side of the road, at the foot of a carpet of purple flowers, slowly watching the life moving around, is probably enough to mark a beautiful and peaceful memory in life.
