It is so colourful and beautiful both in the city where they plant many flowering trees or at countryside. Travel this time around Cambodia would bring you so much joy 
. Find my previous article about Blooming in the city here: Spring is Blooming in Phnom Penh. In town, you see much blooming in public areas such as the riverside or along the big roads, in countryside, you can see them everywhere, but please take notes of three areas:
- You will notice big flowering trees along the way or national roads. Those flowers included Pink Shower Tree [Cassia Grandis] known as Palawan cherry planted by locals along the way for fruits. I only knew of its pink flowers but never realize it actually has yellowish-white flowers. Many people I know (older generation) do not even know of its existence. Another type isβ Coral Tree or Swamp Immortelle
- If you travel in the forest, you will also notice forest flowering trees that have different colour. One example of the forest flowers Flame of the forest
- You will also enjoy various garden flowers this time.
Big flowering trees in the village, along the street or in public places. Some are for fruit, some are for decorating

Forest flowering trees: there are many trees produce flowers in the forest these days. These are grown by themselves in the forest.
I walked down Kulen mountain in Siem Reap years ago. I smelled something so good - looked at the ground I saw some flowers dropped there and when I looked up, there was big tree full of flowers. So beautiful and very fragrance!
This one below is similar to the above one, but named differently. The above is national flowers named Rumdoul while this one named Kravann. They both have pleasant fragrance!
