As the midsummer wind sweeps through the streets, the pink silk tree flowers fill the trees with a sense of tenderness.

The flower of the pink silk tree carries beautiful meanings. Also, as a medicinal herb, they are known for their calming effects on the mind and their ability to relieve depression. The tree's leaves open during the day and close at night, while its flowers resemble delicate feather fans. For many Chinese people, these flowers carry hopes of reconciliation and family happiness.
