Mr. Nguyen Hong Quang, Chairman of Vinh Hiep Commune People's Committee (Vinh Thanh District), said that this year, the flowers bloomed earlier than every year. Since the beginning of March, hundreds of tourists have flocked to Ta Ma stream every day to admire the unique beauty of the wild flowers and enjoy the cool space and cool stream with their families (Photo: Nguyen Phan Dung Nhan).

"On International Women's Day, March 8, thousands of people and tourists flocked to Ta Ma stream, so the local authorities had to send forces to regulate and direct traffic. About 70-80 tents serving tourists were all full, many tourists had to walk along the stream or spread tarps on both sides of the stream to find a place to sit and relax," said Mr. Quang (Photo: Nguyen Phan Dung Nhan).

According to the Ba Na people in Ha Ri village, the flower in Ta Ma stream is called K'súa, but many people often call it water trang flower. This type has a shape similar to the trang flower in the plains but grows in clusters and spreads across the canopy of large trees.

The special thing about the wild flowers in Vinh Hiep is that no two trees have the same color of flowers. Each tree has flowers of yellow-orange or red color, the only thing they have in common is that they only bloom in spring (Photo: Nguyen Phan Dung Nhan).
