In the dreamy Hue land, together with the temples, mausoleums, the Huong River, Mount Ngu Binh, and the poetic streets, wherever in Hue, you can bump into the red color of the flamboyant flowers in the summer.

Blooming meekly and humbly on the grassy banks of the roads and the fields, the Bidens pilosa flowers with thin white petals carry an immense charm.

These days, Hue is bustling with flags and flowers to welcome Vesak.

Early-season lotus flowers are in their full bloom in the Citadel as well as Hue city's suburbs, bringing in the peaceful and gentle beauty.

In the summer, while going on A Luoi roads, you will suddenly encounter wild flowers brought home by people to beautify their house landscape, and hamlet alleys, etc...

These are the female "warriors" of Hue Central Hospital in all areas of health care for patients. Despite stress, pressure, and even the constant risk of infection, those "warriors" always fulfill the mission of a physician, like flowers silently emitting fragrance.

The azadirachta indica tree by An Cuu River this morning is in bloom with purple flowers. A few days ago, the leaf canopy was still green, but early morning today, in the sprinkling rain, the "purple clouds" have unexpectedly appeared on top of the branches.

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.)

My mother assisted my father, trying to arrange a few thin apricot branches into an old vase. She lightly sighed and added, “I wonder if we would have any flowers on the New Year's days...”

It looks as if they are just dry firewood branches, but only after 5 - 10 days of watering and caring can these dry branches sprout, blossom with vitality.
