Along Le Phung Hieu Street, in the heart of Hanoi, the small Dien Hong flower garden, also affectionately known as the "toad flower garden," is always a favorite destination for Hanoians. In winter, when the weather turns cold, this flower garden becomes vibrant with the appearance of the beautiful flowers.
This flower, scientifically known as Floss Silk or Silk Floss, belongs to the kapok family and possesses an elegant and refined beauty. Its soft, delicate pink petals shyly display their color amidst the green leaves, creating an incredibly romantic and dreamy scene.
In the middle of winter, Hanoi is adorned with a type of flower that blooms brilliantly, attracting the attention of many.
The hydrangea, with its delicate petals like butterfly wings, shyly displays its beauty amidst the cold weather. From December to February, hydrangeas bloom profusely, creating an incredibly romantic and dreamy scene. Clusters of vibrant pink flowers resemble pink clouds drifting lazily across the sky, bringing a warm and sweet feeling to anyone who has the chance to admire them. The gentle, pure fragrance of the flowers permeates the air, making one feel relaxed and peaceful.
This flower has a beautiful name - "beauty"
The tree trunk is densely covered with sharp thorns that protect it from climbing animals, but planting it in the city might also deter people from approaching. Immature trees have green bark, which eventually turns gray as they age. This green color is a biological characteristic that allows the tree to continue photosynthesis while shedding its leaves.
The tree's canopy spreads wide, forming an umbrella shape, resembling a cool, shady umbrella when viewed from afar. It can thrive and survive in harsh environmental conditions. The leaves are dark green, compound, palmate with 3-5 leaflets, approximately 3-10 cm long, oval-shaped, and straight.
When in full bloom, this flower creates a dazzling spectacle.
Additionally, this ornamental plant is also used in traditional medicine. The bark has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and can be used to treat conditions such as sinusitis and sore throat. The flowers are used to reduce fever and relieve pain.
It is known that the "beauty rose" tree was planted in the toad flower garden about two years ago, and it began to bloom profusely this winter. The soft, delicate rose petals proudly display their beauty amidst the cold weather, creating a stunning natural scene. Many passersby were quite surprised to see this somewhat unusual flower. It's even more special to hear its name, "beauty rose," or "beauty rose." Indeed, not everyone has heard of this flower before. And now, not only have they heard its name, but they can also see the beauty rose blooming in the heart of the capital city.
The color pink captivates many hearts.
Despite being a relatively recent addition to the landscape, the "beauty queen" flower has quickly become a highlight, adding a special touch to Hanoi's winter. With its delicate beauty and poetic name, this flower evokes images of stunning beauties – graceful yet strong.
Those who have ever passed by and gazed upon the beautiful flowers of the season can never forget the feeling of both amazement and enchantment. And so, amidst the bustling capital city, the beautiful flowers quietly tell their story, adding warmth to the winter days.
