Go through the chrysanthemum

09/01/2019

A new season has come, gently bringing with it the fragrance and colors of countless flowers. And in these chilly but still sunny days at the end of the year, photographer Tran Thuong has captured images of bright yellow chrysanthemum bushes as a way to convey hope for a new year filled with love.

Those who have read the story collection "Passing by Chrysanthemums" by writer Nguyen Nhat Anh probably cannot forget the regretful confession of the character Truong: "I gently tilt the bucket so that the drops of water fall hesitantly on the yellow flowers and green leaves. Or is that my heart absentmindedly tilting down to my first love?" Perhaps because of this, yellow chrysanthemums are often associated with both poetic and sad beauty. However, in the recent photo collection by author Tran Thuong, yellow chrysanthemums shine with the beauty of faith and hope, things that each of us longs for before the new year comes.

Next, let's join Travellive to admire the beautiful moments of the chrysanthemum field that Tran Thuong recorded!

However, those who do not know about chrysanthemums will be surprised to know that this flower is often harvested and dried to make tea to cool down, detoxify and is a good medicine. That is why chrysanthemums are always sold by weight and not as a regular bouquet. Every 7 kg of fresh flowers will produce 1 kg of dried flowers.
