Hanoi’s streets dotted with bombax flowers
March, the season of bombax flowers, carrying the childhood memories of many people. |
Most villages in northern provinces have planted bombax trees in their entrance or in front of their temples. The flowers bloom only once a year in March. |
A bombax flower has five large but thick petals. Notably, the flowers do not grow closely but bloom at the same time. |
As leaves shed, the bombax trees are covered with the bright red colour of their big flowers, creating a brilliant beauty. |
In the minds of many people who are living away from home, bombax trees also contain memories of their peaceful childhood. |
Bombax trees are planted in many streets in the inner city such as Trang Thi, Dinh Tien Hoang, Tran Quang Khai. |
The brilliant red colour covers the Vietnam Museum of History. |
Bombax flowers have become a source of inspiration for many musicians, poets, painters and photographers. |
Bombax flowers are scattered in the countryside of the North, particularly in Phu Tho, Nam Dinh, Ha Nam and some others surrounding Hanoi. |
