a closer look at the flowers

The rosy trumpet tree usually blossoms in January or February.

These trees are scattered in Central Taiwan.

They were lovely to look at because of the violet color of the flowers.

Hmmm... Seeing the rosy trumpet tree for the first time gave me an idea to look for more in Taiwan.
