From Bao Loc city to Dalat is the space of phoenix flowers. Each year, there are 4 seasons of phoenix flowers with different colors. Purple phoenix is ​​abundant in Da Lat; yellow phoenix mainly in Di Linh district; There are many red phoenixes in almost every district, except Da Lat; Pink phoenixes are abundant in Bao Loc city and Bao Lam district.

Pink phoenix, along with yellow phoenix and purple phoenix, is quite special when there are few places to grow it. Purple phoenix can be considered the typical phoenix of Da Lat, while the pink phoenix is ​​the typical phoenix of Bao Loc and the southern region of Lam Dong. Every year, when students start summer vacation, the first torrential rains have just ended, and pink phoenixes bloom throughout the central area of ​​Bao Loc city.

The red phoenix with a body as big as a red phoenix is ​​popular in Vietnam. There are many opinions that this is an exotic plant, but the agricultural authorities in Lam Dong have not yet recorded the appearance of a pink phoenix in the south of Lam Dong. 

Longtime residents in Bao Loc city said that the pink phoenix has been grown for at least 15 years locally. Previously, the tree trunk was small and low, so when the flowers bloomed, they did not attract the attention of locals and tourists. Recently, the trunk is large enough, surpassing other green plants, so when the flowers bloom, they attract attention.
