Interactive Map of Pink Trumpet Blossoms

Mapping trails, photos and data for journaling seasonal memories

This interactive photo-journal is an archive that preserves seasonal encounters in a digital space. Photographed over 5 months, the project brings together images of the trees in bloom alongside contextual information on their species, location, and cycles of flowering. Visitors are invited to navigate through a map where each tree is identified and marked for bloom levels.

The archive foregrounds both the intimacy of personal memory and the shared possibility of experiencing these blossoms collectively.

Prototype

Experience the blossoms from my eyes, from the year 2024.

What it maps

Flower life cycle

The project shares the seasons and blooming cycles of the Pink Trumpet flower. It shares some information on this lesser-known flower which is often incorrectly dubbed as 'cherry blossom'.

My walking routes

I enjoyed these blossoms during my evening and morning walks around my residential area. Different walking routes provided different views of blossoming trees and a lovely walk through the plant litter.

Photo-documentation

Many photos were taken in appreciation of the blossoming trees. They were mapped along the walking route and their particulars are presented as data-points.
