Trumpet trees are originally native to South America and Mexico, making them very suitable for tropical regions. In their place of origin, there are as many as 15 different colors, ranging from purple to white. InHong Kong, the more well-known varieties are the red and yellow trumpet trees. Like cherry blossoms, trumpet trees generally bloom from March to April in spring, but unfortunately, their blooming period is quite short – from budding to falling, it’s only about a week. Those hoping to capture memories with trumpet tree photos should definitely plan accordingly!
