Lilies, also known as lilies, lilies, lilies, etc., are popular flowers, grown in many parts of the world. The shape of this flower is true to its name, when it blooms completely like a loudspeaker or trumpet. In addition, this flower also means to wish for all the good, luck and success. In Hanoi, white lilies are the most popular, symbolizing the innocence, purity, lightness and tenderness of a woman. True to its meaning, when referring to white lilies, people think of the famous painting “Girl with lilies” by painter To Ngoc Van. Every April and May, it’s not difficult to “find” lilies, especially those carrying flowers around the streets of Phan Dinh Phung, Thuy Khue, Quang Ba flower market, etc. It is a pleasure to buy lilies to display in the house to enjoy their pure beauty and gentle scent. I don’t know since when, under the bright sunshine of May, Hanoi capital is adorned with the purple color of mausoleum flowers, which has become a familiar image every summer. Bang Lang is a strong woody plant, the canopy is high and wide, it has all the elements to become a shaded ornamental plant. It is often said that purple mausoleum represents loyalty, represents the innocence of the first love of a pure school age, a love that is not attached to anything. Every May, the lily-of-the-valley flowers in the season bloom, full of life, reaching out to the summer winds. They race to make the whole sky purple, lined up one after another along the streets. Each flower is crowded to show off its color, making anyone passing by feel flustered, stopping to look at it. The lily-of-the-valley tree appears all over the streets and streets of Hanoi, wherever you go, you will see that purple color in full bloom, bringing a sense of lightness, relaxation, dispelling the heat of summer. Without a strong fragrance like milk flowers or jasmine flowers, lily-of-the-valley flowers attract all eyes by their own uniqueness and charm – an unforgettable beauty. The lily-of-the-valley flower blooms quickly but also quickly fades, it will be bare again, losing the beauty it once had after the summer ends, we can only look and recall that purple color when it was still brilliant. “In what beautiful dress with lotus Green leaves with white flowers and yellow stamens…” In the summer of May, when the first showers poured down signaling the arrival of summer, the lotus ponds also began to reveal the first shy flowers. The lotus flower gives off a cool fragrance that captivates people. Sen has been associated with Vietnam for many generations. Lotus is the symbol, the national flower of Vietnam, symbolizing integrity, uprightness and justice. The lotus is self-born, self-sustaining, and every summer, the lotus stretches out strongly, showing off its fragrance in the mud swamp. Past and present, traditional or modern, lotus has always had a place in the lives of Vietnamese people. The lotus is perhaps the only flower that converges in both the philosophical meaning, the noble life and the rise of a strong will to live like the Vietnamese people who have also experienced the “mud”, I came out of the water and bloomed. Not only that, with the symbolic meaning of purity and nobility, lotus is also a part of Vietnamese beliefs, where there is a lotus there is a Buddha, serenity and peace. The lotus is also the symbol of Vietnamese women in ao dai, with a conical hat on their head, and blooming lotus flowers in their hands, this image makes many boys fall in love and flutter. Amidst the jade-green leaves, hundreds of lotus flowers bloomed, both rustic and beautiful, and elegantly surreal, brightening up a large area. That romantic image has woven unforgettable memories in the hearts of Hanoians and tourists from all over the world. Not as poetic as a mausoleum or burning like a red phoenix, the canary is dressed in yellow as if it were in harmony with the blazing sun of summer. Each cluster of canaries hangs down, slender and graceful. Muong canary also has many other names such as Queen Muong, Lantern Flower, … or likened to the apricot tree of summer. The canary is a symbol of love, solidarity and harmony. The yellow color of the canary also represents vermilion, prosperity, and a fresh radiance that brings hope. Canary flowers are found in many places, but are grown most in West Lake. The branches of the canary are thin but golden, full of flower clusters, like lanterns that make people engrossed in their gazes. Walking around West Lake, it is impossible to stop bewildered by the clusters of golden canaries, luxurious and splendid, dotted against the blue sky, making people’s hearts flutter. The canary is beautiful in the bright sunlight of summer and gentle in the red and yellow color of the sunset at West Lake. Referring to the phoenix flower, we cannot forget its brilliant red color – the red color that signals the arrival of summer. Every May degree, every street corner, every street in the capital is filled with the red color of phoenix flowers. The red phoenix is ​​a vibrant color full of vitality that makes people’s hearts flutter before its beauty. Besides the name phoenix, this plant is also known as cylindricula, western scallop. In Hanoi, it is not difficult to see the bright red color of phoenix flowers on roads such as Thanh Nien Street, around West Lake or on the banks of the To Lich River,… Phoenix is ​​not a flower, a branch, phoenix is ​​a red sky. The phoenix flowers bloom in clusters like sparks, adorning the streets of Hanoi. In the middle of the red color, the leaves are green, growing on both sides of the stem like a phoenix’s tail. It is often said that when seeing the phoenix tail showing off its color and the sound of cicadas, it is also the time to signal the arrival of summer. The phoenix is ​​also a symbol associated with the age of students, because the phoenix blooms at the end of the school year, the farewell season of high school students. It is associated with many happy and sad memories of a time when she went to school, so the phoenix is ​​also known as “student flower”. If the mausoleum brings a romantic purple color to the streets of Hanoi, the phoenix flowers light up the fire with bright red flowers in the summer sun. This is also a flower that creates an unforgettable highlight for Hanoi every summer.

Summer always adorns Hanoi with countless colorful flowers. These days, when you crane your neck up to watch the sun stream through the green foliage, dotted with the sun’s shadows on the windows of the old French houses, a peaceful scene emerges clearly. In June, there are purple mausoleums, red phoenixes, white ivory mulberry flowers, canary flowers hidden in the green of leaves, brilliant yellow scallops, tender white and pink bougainvillea… stand out in the frames. door, balcony.

The lovely colors of flowers by the window frame evoke a lot of nostalgia. Wandering on the streets, nooks and corners of Hanoi streets, everywhere you can see bougainvillea flowers blooming, burning in the summer sun, frolicking by the door frames. In the summer, the sky is clearer and bluer, the most beautiful scenery of the year when the sky is blue, the clouds are white and the sun is more yellow, which is a favorable light condition to capture the beautiful windows of Hanoi. Summer morning in Hanoi with gentle, peaceful sunshine. The sun rises earlier than any other season of the year, on the wide, empty street, the door frames become even more prominent with brilliant flowers.

Waking up in the arms of water Your shoulder is smooth and clear Disappeared in waves again… *** He calmly clung to the grass Call me in the open sky And the night just melted away too quickly. *** Can’t hear my voice Only the sound of lilies can be heard But I believe you heard. *** I heard So the stump just watered so quickly absorbed The dew-drenched phoenix dome was on fire this morning The dried field corns rattled. *** Plunge into the ground with thirsty toes The new leaf that emerges resets the lyrics The fire was burning in the quiet space From the feeling that has just fallen and broken. Comments Close your eyes and hear, in the stillness of your thoughts, the echo of the dried corn that has just hit the ground, breaking out into the sound of summer. The poem is an echo that awakens the sky, awakens the morning, awakens the fire in the dew-drenched phoenix cluster. Close your eyes and see, in your imagination, the smooth and soft image of water, fluttering next to a lotus flower, a lotus leaf, a gentle and shy shoulder. The poem is a flash of light that reveals secret images. Close your eyes and feel, a waiting in the thirsty earth, a new song in the sprouting leaves, a turning towards the light. The night is over, the old feelings are gone. Clinging to the grass, looking up at the wide sky and calling out, I know you heard, a new life begins.

The phoenix flower tree has the English name Flamboyant, also known as phoenix, oval west, scallop… The phoenix is ​​a red-flowered plant found in tropical or subtropical regions. Phoenix flowers bloom from about late April to June, depending on the region. This flower is native to Madagascar. In addition to its ornamental value, phoenix also acts as a shade tree in tropical conditions. The phoenix tree is quite tall, about 5m to 12m. The phoenix tree has wide spreading foliage and its dense foliage provides shade. The phoenix flower has 5 petals spreading bright red or orange-red, often forming large clusters. In Vietnam, the phoenix tree was introduced and planted by the French in the late 19th century in big cities such as Hai Phong, Hanoi, Da Nang, and Saigon. Even Hai Phong is also known as the “City of red phoenix flowers”. In Hanoi, the phoenix tree is grown quite popularly. They are planted on sidewalks, parks, schools. When the phoenix flowers begin to bloom, it is also the time to signal exam season, summer, and school release season. That’s why, the first sentence of the song Phuong Hong: Carts full of phoenix flowers, where is my summer baby going… has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of many young people. The phoenix flower rose strongly in the terrible heat of Hanoi. Along the rivers, lakes and both sides of the capital’s roads are now tinged with brilliant red. The phoenix trees on the street produce bright red flowers, combined with the purple color of the mausoleum, the yellow color of the scalloped flowers, creating the summer colors of Hanoi. All of them light up in many generations of Hanoians the fire of love every time they look at those bright colors.

When the mausoleum begins to fade, it is also the time when phoenix flowers bloom brightly on every street corner of the capital. Attached to the student age, even if we go far away from the beloved school, when looking at the blooming red phoenix flowers in the corner of the sky, it makes our hearts flutter, reminiscing about a bygone era. Phoenix flowers were brought to Vietnam by the French in the 19th century. Every year, phoenix flowers bloom from April to June. Nowadays, the flowers are grown in most provinces across the country. In Hanoi, phoenix flowers are planted a lot on sidewalks, in school parks to create shade or to decorate along roads. Inflorescences of phoenix flowers bloom at Trich Sai street (Tay Ho district). Hoang Thi Tam (Tay Ho district) shared, phoenix flowers are associated with memories of school days and everyone has experienced such a time. Cicadas cry, phoenix blooms signal the separation season of schoolchildren. The roads along the To Lich river are filled with the red color of phoenix flowers. The corner of the schoolyard flickers with red phoenix flowers/Summer comes and rushes the exam seasons. Poetry: Far away, phoenix. The rows of phoenixes leaning on Sword Lake. Stand out in front of one of the tallest buildings in Hanoi. The blooming red phoenix flower clusters signal another summer has come.

Illustration Interestingly, when we go to schools, we will always see a few shady phoenix trees on the yard and the flower season often coincides with the end of the school year. When we were young, when we were on summer vacation, our children often invited each other to fly kites, kick soccer balls, catch ticks, throw canes… Even though we knew we would be scolded by our parents, we still tried to pick the phoenix flowers play. Our daughter often weaves phoenix petals into necklaces and bracelets to play princess and bride games. Boys cut the pistil to “fight” with each other like a cockfight, whoever’s pistil falls first loses. The clumsy games that used to be have now drifted into the fairyland. And surely, everyone has wished for a miracle to buy a ticket back to the memory station of the carefree days. Memories of the white shirt era are often associated with phoenix flowers. The boy in the class silently gave his girlfriend phoenix branches in the desk drawer. The girlfriend quietly pressed the pink phoenix petals in her boyfriend’s guestbook with nostalgic poems… On the day of parting with students, someone fluttered with the song “Phong Hong” in the recording- He advised: “Baskets of carts full of phoenix flowers / Where do you carry my summer / The bunch of phoenixes you hold is my age of eighteen / Age no one knows, silently first love”… A little That first pure vibration of life is forever stored in each person’s small and beautiful memory compartment. As a promise, the blooming phoenix signals the exam season and lights up the aspirations of youth. I will always remember the last summer of my student years. The whole group of friends cycled to the beach in the middle of the Red River to play. We talked about our plans for the upcoming college entrance exam and our career dreams. Before leaving, each person writes their wish on a piece of paper, folds it into a boat, and floats it on the river. The paper boats carrying our dreams floated on the waves of the Red River drifting far away in the sunset. Later, the harsh life divided us into many directions and there were some people who lost contact with each other. Sometimes, I secretly ask: “I don’t know, who can fulfill their youthful aspirations?”. There are dreams and ambitions that have passed because time does not wait for us. But, there are also people who burn themselves out for work. For them, being devoted to their dreams is happiness. Yes, phoenix still blooms but youth never returns. So we should not waste our youth on meaningless things. Every year, when it comes to summer, phoenix lights up the nostalgia for a time when white clothes were worn. I believe that, in each person’s memory domain, there are memories of a brilliant youth with youthful aspirations. Yes, a flower season is coming to the street.

The weather in Hanoi began to appear intense heat waves as well as when the phoenix trees on the streets of Hanoi began to bloom. This is a flower that reminds many memories of the time when students went to school in Hanoi. Every corner of the sky, every corner, every road… wherever you go, you will see phoenix flowers, brilliant “flames” on the tree trunks that seem dry but imbued with nostalgia. Along the streets there are the most beautiful rows of phoenixes such as Lang, Thanh Nien, around West Lake, Truc Bach lake… and even school yards in Hanoi stand out in the summer sun with the burning red color of this flower. Not only a flower that signals summer, in the memories of Hanoi’s students in the past, when the phoenix “burns” is the time when the senior students are about to part, reminding that the important exam is near. , have to change the habits of going to class, meeting and playing with classmates for many years. Going through the streets of Hanoi, it is not difficult for people to see the blooming “flames” signaling the arrival of summer. The weather in Hanoi begins with intense heat waves, which is also the time when phoenix flowers bloom in clusters. On the street corner, the sky seemed to be on fire with the red color of this flower. Referring to the species of phoenix is ​​immediately referring to Hai Phong, but Hanoi is also very colorful with this flower in May. Phoenix in Hanoi is grown a lot, especially on streets like Lang, Quan Hoa, Thanh Nien, around West Lake, Truc Bach Lake… In Vietnam, the phoenix tree was introduced by the French in the late 19th century in big cities, gradually, this flower was planted throughout the provinces from North to South on sidewalks and school grounds. Phoenix flowers on the sidewalk in Hanoi. Along the two sides of To Lich River, Lang street, two rows of phoenixes are planted quite beautifully. 4 bright red, or slightly orange petals, the 5th petal is erect, slightly larger than the other 4. The phoenix flower season usually lasts for 1 month. In May, phoenix blooms, the color is deep red, but in June, the color is lighter and the flowers begin to fall. The phoenix is ​​tall and the foliage is wide, providing shade for passersby. The deep red color of the phoenix flower makes the people of the capital flutter when remembering a time when students went to school to go to school. Even on hot summer days, looking at a gentle phoenix branch like this also feels relaxing after a hard working day.

Under the sun… In May, the sun shines brightly on all roads. Early in the morning, the sun was already rising. Like this morning, the golden sun shines brightly, shining brighter than the blue patches of the sky and white clouds floating in the air. The streets I still go through every day to go to work, the cicadas have played the low-pitched music, the phoenix has sporadic flowering branches and the purple color of the mausoleum. The street suddenly seemed strangely different every day for the summer to the season. Sunny. Very sunny, especially at noon, everyone seems to be rushing on the road to “hide” from the sun. And I, in the depths of my heart, suddenly realized something real, and very real. It was early summer, on my way home from work in the midday sun, and strangely, I missed the sun. Seeing the sun suddenly miss the sun, the nostalgia seems to burst with the silence of worries with myself, with daily joys and sorrows… My birthday is on a day in May. I remember being busy when my mother told me that I must have been born in the sun, so I was black. And I innocently told myself to be like plants and flowers in the garden, growing up in the sun every day. It’s funny to remember the “young and buffalo” time in my hometown, because the sun gave me black skin through many sunny seasons, to forever remember the verses “Homeland is a bunch of sweet star fruit …”, or “Who told the blanket to be a blanket?” buffalo is suffering / I dreamily listen to birds singing high above…”. Yes, it’s like the earth, like the grass, but it’s good, struggling with the sun to cherish in my heart a pure and pure life, reaching up to the vast space, enjoying the sunshine and singing the song of fertility four Seasons… But think back, look at yourself. I used to be in the sun in the field on the beach, I used to rush on the village road with the blazing sun to go to school. Then just like that, I grew up and I went, saying goodbye to my hometown with the village’s bamboo ramparts disappearing to go to the city to study and find work and make a living. I “escaped” gardens, rice fields, rivers, boats and even kites full of wind in the clear blue sky, running away from the sun. And now, every day, I “hide” in working and living rooms with air conditioning or other amenities in the hot season in each passing day. But when I return to my hometown, in the early morning, I see the pure rays of sunshine and the dew drops of last night still wet in my mother’s vegetable garden, or the sunset sun shining in the dark purple horizon in the field. village. Sunshine for the green of the leaves, sunshine on the cheerful faces of children, on the smiles of the people in my hometown in the harvest season… She is innocent, she can see sunshine and sunshine everywhere. Suddenly, I found that, even though it was sunny, I was cool in the midst of the lovely countryside. Therefore, there are times when I miss the sun, an unrelenting nostalgia… In the early summer months of this year, I miss home, miss my hometown with immense sunshine in the distant fields. Homeland is harvesting rice. The people in my hometown are working hard in the fields from early morning until hot noon, or do not finish work until late at night. Sunshine is still sincere and transparent “participating” in their lives, a natural thing. The people of my hometown are still as sincere as the salty soil of the alluvial soil, like the plants and trees that work diligently in the sun to look forward to the bountiful seasons, so that life is full and peaceful for each passing day. Then, every time a meal, whether at home or in the field on the beach, the fatigue disappears, and the joy mingles with the sweet aroma in the pure white rice grains. I see more sunshine again… In the early summer days of May, the sun is still steadily starting each morning this morning. I wrote for me on my birthday, just like the melody of Trinh’s love song “Sunshine” is still earnestly “The color of the sun or the color of your eyes”, “The grass suddenly turns sunny”… Sunny fading into the vast memory. And I’m having a nostalgia. The sun gives me the desire to write something, after I finish writing it, I feel like it’s never been enough. Summer sun!…

I still remember the first time I saw him was during a shower in the beginning of Ha at a small bus stop on the way to town. That day he wore white glasses and a brown backpack on one shoulder. He was very beautiful that day, like a lacquer painting with harmonious overall lines, a blue shirt and mature black jeans, and his ears with headphones muttering to a song of unknown name.

The 15-year-old’s heart has been stolen since then.

There is a guy who stole my heart. (Artwork: Movie “Love Alarm”)

That summer was different from other summers. I quietly woke up early in the morning, waiting for the bus to go to school with him in town. He followed from the bus stop to the school he attended, and then faltered until his shadow was lost from the crimson phoenixes.

Fortunately, your school is next to mine, and since then I went to school very early so I took advantage of studying before going to class. Romance so grows up by day, according to the cicadas on the tall branches of the trees carry sad songs to the heart.

This summer is special when not only the showers bring nostalgia but also the golden sunny days at the bus stop. The lovely bus trips carry the silhouette of a young man, although he has never been known by his name. I still hold that figure in the deepest corner of my heart, to feel more peaceful than ever. The times when he was tired of eating a loaf to make it in time for the car to run, the mornings when his face was cold and pale from sleep, was the textbook he held in his hand to take advantage of to review the lesson before the important exam. school …

No one falls in love because of being loved, or falling in love just because of rejection. (Artwork: Movie “Love Alarm”)

My best friend once said, “Are you going to love unrequitedly forever?”. I just smile because I don’t understand myself. Love is sometimes the inexplicable arguments of the heart. No one falls in love because of being loved or falling in love just because of rejection. My love is simply seeing you every day, no noise, no flashiness. My love is quiet but sincere like long sand on the sea but by no means not strong or deep. I like you and I wish you happiness. When I see him happy, I feel happy, when he is sad, I can feel the sadness present on myself. You are the gift that God has given me and whether I am lucky or not I still accept it with all my sincerity.

Then, Ha gave way to the Autumn winds that enveloped the town, and I took a new level of education.

Fate set us up with a new story. (Artwork: Movie “Love Alarm”)

The high school was so close to home that I no longer needed to go to the bus stop to pick up the bus every day. I don’t see you on the bus anymore. But fate arranged for us in an unexpectedly random way.

You are right beside me right now, your hand is in mine. Maybe I couldn’t believe the guy I had been looking forward to all summer was my tablemate when I was in 10th grade.

Destiny not only unites us at the bus stop, but also our future lives. He was also surprised when the girl sitting at the table was the same old girl waiting for the same bus. You said you noticed when I followed you to school. At first, I felt annoyed, but later I got used to it. And now we will continue to write our life story for the coming summers. Those were summers without loneliness, because we were together.

And the coming summers will no longer be lonely. (Artwork: Movie “Love Alarm”)
