Purple Royal Poinciana – The Mark of Time on the Mountain Town

If Da Lat has a flower season that reminds us of old things, vague memories that are hard to name, it is the purple phoenix flower season. This flower appeared in the 1960s, when agricultural engineer Luong Van Sau brought flower varieties from Europe to plant on the highlands.

Since then, purple phoenix flowers have become an indispensable part of the poetic picture of Da Lat every March.
