The field corn tree blooms next to Dien Can Chanh yard in Tu Cam Thanh (the power has been destroyed, now there are only left and right fields). From mid-April to early May, when the leaves are all over, is the time when the field corn plant blooms most beautifully. Photo: Tran Luong Thu Phuong

Female tourist Tran Duong Thu Phuong (25 years old, Hanoi) was surprised by the poetic beauty of Thai Hoa Palace: "This is the first time I have seen and known about the field corn tree in Hue and also do not know about the existence of this tree. Coming to Thai Hoa Palace, I and other tourists were very excited to see 2 beautiful pink flowering trees; then I learned and learned that this tree was a field corn tree".

The field corn tree is known as a royal flower associated with the image of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue. In ancient times, this type of tree was only grown in royal palaces and the mausoleums of kings of the Nguyen Dynasty. Photo: Tran Luong Thu Phuong

The field corn plants in Dien Can Chanh yard (Tu Cam Thanh) are said to have been planted during the reign of King Minh Mang. But now there are only a few replacement trees that are several decades old. Photo: Tran Luong Thu Phuong
