CHAIYAPHUM — Fuschia fields of Siam tulips are standing proudly to greet visitors at a northeast national park for a short-lived summer bloom, a national park employee said Monday.

Pa Hin Ngam National Park will be sprinkled with lively colors as the tropical plant – more closely related to ginger than the tulip – blossoms through early August.

“There’s quite a lot of blooms this year,” Ratchadaporn Samadee, a park employee at the park said by phone. “I recommend visitors come in the morning to see the flowers, because there’s fog among them too.”
