Wildflowers in March

TTH.VN - Neither regal, mannered nor haughty, the colors of wildflowers are still spectacular on the days of March in Hue.

Without being well-tended, wildflowers are still in natural blossoms and pleasant fragrance. Unlike the regal and mannered roses or orchids, the wildflowers are fragile but not weak, arrogantly rising in the sun, in the wind and between carefree human steps.

There are more unnamed species of wildflowers than the known and wanted ones. Regardless of this, the wildflowers unceasingly blossom and perfume without caring whether any passer-by will miss a land of wildflowers…

The Clerodendrum reminds of a childhood threat that looking at the flower results in a sty in the eye (hence, the name of a ‘sty flower’)

Mimosa pudica is the flower much mentioned in poetry, though it always hides itself in weeds

Melastoma dyes the sky purple in the afternoon

Each person and family reminisce about old times when apricot color shone in front of the Citadel. The Yellow Apricot - Hoang Mai flower is a symbol of spring, family reunion, harmony between heaven and earth, and the nation. It has surpassed its value as a flower to become a symbol of the Ancient Capital.

In Hue, somewhere on the sidewalk, you can see Prunus Persica blossom trees nestling themselves next to an old tree. Those are Prunus Persica blossom trees that their owners left after Tet (Vietnamese New Year’s Day.)

Season of flowers

For flower growers in Phu Mau, Phu Thuong, Thuy Van (Hue City), there are always sprouts raised on the loose soil beds, so that their gardens and fields are green, not only for Tet holiday. Therefore, it is not difficult to see colorful flower gardens shimmering in the wind, whether spring, summer, autumn or winter.
