Starting in October, the flowers of the Taiwan koelreuteria tree slowly transition from golden to pink, now forming a limited-time pink avenue. The colors of autumn flowers may not be vivid, but they are tinged with a “Monet pink” hue, as if wrapped in a retro camera filter, offering a uniquely autumnal charm.

The Taiwan koelreuteria tree, growing to a height of 10 to 25 meters, is a plant species unique to Taiwan and typically blooms in October. Its petals are rose-red, transitioning from light purple to reddish-brown and finally to earthy tones. With its graceful form and ever-changing colors, it stands out most prominently during the autumn flowering season.
