Hanoi is brilliant in summer flowers

Every summer, the capital is more brilliant by the outstanding colors of phoenix flowers, mausoleum flowers, canary flowers … in full bloom spreading all the way back. Coming to Hanoi on these days, you have the opportunity to admire the colorful beauty of flowers that adorn the streets more poetically.

Lagerstroemia purple I’m not a fan of tombstones. This plant makes me feel dry and lifeless. Most of the year, they appear on the roadside, thin, dusty with a few leaves. However, I still have to admit that it is beautiful when the leaves are in bloom as well as the heart when this plant blooms. Among the summer flowers in Hanoi, Lang Lang is one of the earliest blooming species. In early May, in the midst of the hot and sweltering sun, purple flowers appeared, bloomed in clusters, dyed all the streets and street corners. The dreamy look of this plant is short-lived. After the rains, the flowers fade and gradually fall off. Red phoenix fills the sky Blooming a few days later than the mausoleum, the brilliant red color of the phoenix flower is no less competitive in attracting the eyes of passersby. In many streets and schools, phoenixes are burning the whole sky. In particular, in some places such as along the two sides of To Lich River (on the side of New Grapefruit Road) or Truc Bach Lake area, phoenix flowers are arranged in long rows, simultaneously blooming to create an eye-catching landscape. Flowers bloom is also when the students know it’s time to part. After the drumming of the last lesson, the white shirt and the tears, many people hurriedly picked up the pink phoenix wings and pressed them into their notebooks as if they wanted to hold back time. Canaries and scallops dyed in sunny yellow Not as poetic as the mausoleum or burning like the red phoenix, the canary and yellow scallops seem to blend in with the blazing summer sun. Most of the phalaenopsis trees in Hanoi are classified as ancient trees with tall stems and wide canopy, yellow flowers blooming prominently on green leaves. Meanwhile, the canary is slender, letting down the flower clusters to create a lovely look. Many trees when they are at their most brilliant make passersby only see a shiny yellow color. ‘Nearly mud that does not stink of mud’ Among the flowers of summer, the lotus is the one that blooms most persistently. Lotus has many types, each type has a different blooming time. However, the lotus season usually starts in mid-May and ends in early September. In Hanoi, if you want to see this flower, besides West Lake, you can go to some spots such as Xuan Dinh lotus pond, lagoon. Lotus pond in Quan Son, Lotus lagoon in Nam Hong, Bat Trang lotus pond, Ninh Xa lotus pond or lotus pond in Duong Lam ancient village.
