The water hyacinth flower season stretches across the Mekong Delta rivers and waters

    PHƯƠNG ANH |

    This season in the Mekong Delta, there is not only sunshine and wind, but also water hyacinth purple. Simple, quiet beauty but enough to make people remember forever.

    Thoi diem giao mua, mien Tay khoac len minh ve dep yen binh. Tren nhung con kenh, ao ho khi nuoc rut dan, luc binh no tim tao nen khung canh tho mong, lang man.
    At the intersection of seasons, the Mekong Delta carries a peaceful beauty. On canals and ponds, as the water recedes, water hyacinths bloom purple, creating a poetic and romantic scene. Along the canals in Can Tho, Dong Thap or An Giang, it is not difficult to see water hyacinths reaching the surface with gentle purple color.
    Mau tim ay khong ruc ro, choi chang, ma phon phot, nhe nhang, du de khien bat ky ai di ngang cung phai cham lai, ngam nhin va luu giu vai khoanh khac cho rieng minh.
    That purple color is not brilliant, shimmering but faint, gentle, enough to make anyone passing by slow down, admire and save a few moments for themselves.
    Luc binh (hay con goi la beo Tay) la loai cay thuy sinh co suc song manh, de thich nghi voi moi truong nuoc ngot o dong bang song Cuu Long. Luc binh thuong no ro vao thoi diem giao mua, khi thoi tiet kho rao hon, nang nhieu va dong nuoc lang
    Water hyacinth (also known as Western water hyacinth) is a water plant with strong vitality, easy to adapt to freshwater environments. Water hyacinth usually blooms at the intersection of seasons, when the weather is drier, sunny and the water is calm.
    Hoa co mau tim nhat, diem vang o giua, canh mong manh. Hoa luc binh khong co huong thom, canh rat mong, thuong no nhanh roi chong tan.
    The flower has a light purple color, yellow spots in the middle, fragile petals. Water hyacinth flowers have no aroma, very thin petals, usually bloom quickly and then wither quickly.
    Hoa luc binh la phan non nhat cua cay, nguoi dan mien Tay thuong dung an tuoi voi cac mon ca kho, mam kho hay lau.
    Water hyacinth is the youngest part of the tree, people in the Mekong Delta often use it to eat fresh with braised fish, braised fish sauce or hotpot.
    Khong chi tao nen ve dep nen tho, luc binh con gan lien voi sinh ke cua nguoi dan vung song nuoc. Than luc binh phoi kho duoc dung dan lat cac san pham thu cong my nghe nhu gio, tui, tham, gop phan tao them viec lam va thu nhap cho nhieu ho dan nong thon.
    Not only creating poetic beauty, water hyacinth is also associated with the livelihoods of people in riverine areas. Dried water hyacinth stems are used to weave handicrafts such as baskets, bags, carpets, contributing to creating more jobs and income for many rural households.

    It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

    Nhung nam gan day, sac tim luc binh con tro thanh “diem nhan” thu hut du khach. Khong it ban tre, nhiep anh gia tim ve mien Tay dung mua hoa no de ghi lai ve dep binh di cua lang que song nuoc.
    In recent years, water hyacinth purple has also become a "highlight" attracting tourists. Many young people and photographers come to the Mekong Delta during the flowering season to capture the simple beauty of the riverine countryside.
