In early March, the small-leafed yellow trumpet trees began to bloom. The flowers bloomed sporadically, but right after Tet, the weather in Binh Dinh was hot, so there were quite a lot of tourists coming here.

According to locals, around April, the yellow trumpet flowers will bloom, creating an endless carpet of orange-yellow flowers.

Ta Ma Stream is located in Vinh Hiep village, Vinh Thanh district, Binh Dinh province. This stream originates from the old forest, the water is abundant, clear and cool. The strange thing about this stream is that on both banks there are many small-leafed yellow trumpet trees. They grow almost exclusively, blooming together will create a rare and brilliant scene.

The yellow flowers have many small and thick leaves, the yellow color covers all the leaves. The whole tree is like a brilliant picture. In addition, the stream is clear and cool, in contrast to the hot and humid weather of this season in Binh Dinh. Many tourists come here to prepare swimsuits to soak in the stream.

Locals here often call these yellow flowers "cotton trees" because they look quite similar from afar. Ixora belongs to the genus Ixora, which are all small shrubs, at most 5-6 meters tall. Ixora belongs to the coffee family (Rubiaceae) with opposite, simple leaves.

These yellow-flowered trees in Ta Ma are precisely medium-sized trees with compound leaves and many flowers. Their scientific name is Saraca indica. Their common name is small-leafed yellow-flowered trees, and their English name is Asoka Tree of India.

Small-leafed yellow trumpet trees often grow along streams and need a lot of water to survive. Their trunks are often crooked, so they are rarely cut down. They usually grow scattered along streams in the forests of the Central region. But strangely enough, they grow a lot along the Ta Ma stream.

The golden yellow trees that bloom in late spring and early summer always attract a large number of tourists. For that reason, local people also set up tents for rent and sell food. It is clear that preserving these trees is closely linked to the livelihood of the people. This is a practical form of nature conservation to protect Vietnam's vast forests and to preserve the majestic natural beauty!
