These days, lotus flowers are blooming profusely in the Imperial City, along the streets, and in the suburbs of Hue, bringing it a peaceful and gentle beauty. Lotus flowers have always been closely connected to the people of Hue. Wherever visitors travel in Hue, they will encounter lotus ponds and lakes.

Since embarking on the journey with technology to preserve fresh flowers into everlasting blooms, the love for flowers of Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Lan (from Phong Thu, Phong Dien) has flourished even more. Day and night, with relentless dedication to exploration and research, this young lady has ingeniously created beautiful, unique everlasting flower products, from flower fields.

From December to January each year, the flowering of cherry blossoms in Sa Pa signals the arrival of another spring.

I happened to come across a Facebook post of a friend currently living in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It read, “seeing seven blooming pink lotus flowers celebrating Vesak on Nhan Co Lake reminds me so much of my hometown - Hue, where Ngu Mountain and the Perfume River reside.”

Inherently being called a regal flower associated with the image of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue, the annual blooming season of Firmiana simplex (also known as Chinese parasol) flowers is in late March and April, creating picturesque images in the space of Hue Imperial Citadel.

In the lakes around Hue Imperial Citadel and all over the periphery of Hue City, white lotus flowers have begun to bloom, bringing the pure and brilliant beauty.

On a chilly winter morning, we went to Bon Tri village (Huong An ward, Huong Tra town) to admire tens of thousands of nearly one-year-old yellow apricot trees blooming.

In the early autumn days, some purple flamboyant trees bloom on the streets and parks, giving passers-by a sense of pleasure. While purple flamboyants in Da Lat thrive and flower after the Lunar New Year days; Hue purple flamboyants, around July-August or September, depending on each tree.

Sam Bo Chinh (Abelmoschus sagittifolius) starts to be sowed in February and its flowering time is from June to July. However, the time of August - September is its blooming season. Due to the continuous blooming of Bo Chinh ginseng Flowers, the work of flower harvest lasts for 2 months.

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.
