In March, the Ta Ma stream area in Vinh Thinh commune is adorned with a flamboyant coat of orange-red hues.
Thousands of blossoms line its gentle curves, creating a vivid, eye-catching landscape.
Known locally as “water ixora,” these flowers have only recently become widely known among tourists.
Unlike common ixora shrubs, the trees here are large and age old, with thick trunks and wide canopies stretching over the water. After just a few days of warm sunshine, small buds quickly open, covering the stream in colour.
At dawn, when the first rays filter through the foliage and illuminate the orange-red clusters, the landscape becomes particularly poetic.
The blossoms grow densely, forming large patches of colour that range from soft orange to deep red.
Once a remote and little-known place, Ta Ma Stream has quickly become popular thanks to the beauty of its flowering season.
Visitors come for check-in photos, and also to enjoy the fresh air, cool water and peaceful natural surroundings.
However, the flowers bloom for only a short time, so many people travel there as soon as they hear the news.
“We were amazed by the wild beauty of the site. The air is pure, the stream water is fresh, and seeing the flowers reflected on the surface makes all fatigue disappear,” said Tran My Linh, a tourist from Khanh Hoa.
The wild ixora season is not only a natural highlight but also a symbol of the region’s vitality, helping promote tourism in Gia Lai. Local authorities and residents are preparing for the second Ta Ma Wild Ixora Festival, expected to take place later this month.
According to Huynh Duc Bao, Chairman of the Vinh Thinh Commune People’s Committee, visitors will also have a chance to learn more about the culture and daily life of the Ba Na people. Tourism linked to the wild ixora is creating new income opportunities for local residents, helping support sustainable development in the area.
