Flowering crape myrtle trees beautify border area
VOV.VN - The lagerstroemia tomentosa tree commonly known as crape myrtle or crepe myrtle with their vibrant white and purple flowers along the border belt road of western Nghe An province has created breathtaking landscapes.
A vast array of purple crape myrtle flowers impresses travelers on their journey along the border communes of Ta Ca, Muong Tip and Muong Ai in Ky Son district, Nghe An central province. |
Crape myrtle trees are blooming in the rainy season, from April to September. |
Different from century-old trees in Tam Dinh commune, Tuong Duong district, the crape myrtle trees stand alone on the Vietnam-Lao border. |
The slender trunks rise up to get more sunlight and fresh air. |
Purple crape myrtle belongs to the lagerstroemia family with thinner petals than others. |
The colour of its petals will change from purple to white before defoliation. |
The purple flowers emerged in the green forest provide an interesting destination for young people to explore. |
