Wandering through the streets of Hanoi this season, the striking image of the purple crape myrtle flowers captivates us, drawing our eyes in longing and admiration. Hanoi has 12 seasons of flowers, each with its own unique charm. Around May, as the hot weather envelops the city, the crape myrtle flowers still bloom brilliantly, painting the entire poetic city purple.
The crape myrtle has 6 to 7 thin petals.
The crape myrtle flowers are in full bloom, dyeing the streets purple.
Not limited to just purple, this flower also boasts many other colors such as pale white, pink, etc., but perhaps the purple crape myrtle is still the most familiar color. Crape myrtle flowers usually bloom in large clusters, each cluster containing many tiny flowers. The petals are thin and smooth like velvet. When in full bloom, the crape myrtle dyes a corner of Hanoi purple, creating an incredibly romantic scene.
According to Travellive's observations at Kim Ma Street, at this time of year, many people are taking advantage of the opportunity to take photos and pose to capture the moment of this blooming flower season.
"I love the color purple and I'm always excited for the crape myrtle season so I can grab my camera and go take pictures," this tourist shared.
The crape myrtle has 6 to 7 thin petals, with wrinkled edges on the flower stalks, bulging in the middle of the calyx. The flowers grow in clusters at the end of branches, 20-40 cm long, in many different colors. Each flower has 6 petals, each about 2 to 3.5 cm long. The purple color of this flower also symbolizes loyalty and unwavering devotion.
In Hanoi, many streets are lined with these trees, notably Hoang Cau Street, along West Lake, Van Cao Street, Kim Ma Street, Dao Tan Street, Giai Phong Street, Tran Thai Tong Street, Dang Thai Mai Street, etc. The flowering season begins from May to mid-June each year, so take advantage of this time to admire and capture the most beautiful moments.
