On the days when the weather is about to get into the East, people and tourists in the capital can admire the special beauty of the blooming beautiful flowers. The flower buds bloom in brilliant pink, dying all the roads, making anyone passing by look back.
Beauty flowers, also known as beauty roses, have the scientific name Ceiba speciosa, the English name is floss silk or silk floss. This plant is native to the Americas, famous for its good growth ability and can live in harsh environmental conditions. The plant blooms twice a year, around February and December.
The flowers bloom in a flat shape, consisting of 5 or 6 petals, with pink petals and white lotus petals. The flower buds grow close together, and when blooming, they often bloom together, creating an eye-catching scene.
In particular, when blooming, almost all the leaves on the trunk of the tree fall down, leaving only clusters of brilliant pink flowers on the tree. Not only beautiful, these flowers also exude an immeasurable aroma.
Although not as widely popular as milk flowers or ban flower, this flower is still widely grown on many streets in the center of Hanoi. Visitors can find large beautiful trees in full bloom on Doi Can Street, Lang Street, Au Co, Thuy Khue. Dien Hong flower garden (Con Coc flower garden) along Le Phung Hieu street also has a few quite large trees.
In addition, this flower is also grown in some neighboring provinces such as So Dong (Hung Yen) and the gate of Thuan Thanh fashion company (Bac Ninh).
Mr. Nguyen Trong Hoi, a resident of Hanoi, said: "Tuoi Tre Park on Vo Thi Sau Street has a few quite large trees blooming. An Khanh area also has quite a lot of plantings, some of which are in the most beautiful condition".
The proud pink color and gentle fragrance of the beauty's flowers have successfully beautified the ancient and quiet features of Hanoi. The flower brings romantic and bustling moments that cannot be missed at the end of the year.
