Spectacular Blooms of Purple-Pink Water Hyacinth – Four Must-Visit Spots
By MOOK Scenic Spots / Reported by Christopher
Every spring, flowers burst into bloom across Taiwan, covering the island in vibrant seas of color, making it one of the best seasons for flower viewing. The bright purple-pink water hyacinth has a hollow, bulbous stem resembling a gourd, allowing it to float on the water’s surface, as it is a floating aquatic plant that thrives either on the water or in muddy soil. Its blue-purple petals are particularly eye-catching. Below are four spots where you can admire vast fields of blooming water hyacinths. The spectacular purple-pink floral displays rival the beauty of cherry blossoms and wisteria, and most are located alongside easily overlooked roadsides—visitors looking to enjoy flowers should keep an eye out for these hidden gems.
