(Baonghean.vn)- March has come again. Many native flowers that only appear in March have begun to show their fragrance and color: grapefruit flowers, xoan flowers, mustard flowers... And we cannot help but mention the flower that lights up the fire, warming up the Spring sky that is still in the last cold spells - the kapok flower.

Many people have compared the cotton flowers to sparks of fire. The sparks warm up the space that is still cold and grey due to the cold spells of Miss Ban. Photo: Van Song. |

Almost every village has a kapok tree, usually at the entrance of the village or in the middle of the field. Photo: Van Song. |

The silk cotton flower is also known by other names such as po lang flower or magnolia flower. |

Under this rice tree are many, many village stories... |

Journalist Nguyen Van Song, from Nghi An, Vinh City (currently working in Hanoi) sent these photos to Nghe An Newspaper with the following message: "Red cotton flowers are the symbolic flower of the Vietnamese countryside, that is the first and most important reason why I am passionate about taking photos of red cotton flowers." |

"As urbanization is getting faster and faster, villages are increasingly caught up in that flow, and the ancient cotton trees - the symbol of the village - are increasingly disappearing. Therefore, preserving beautiful moments during the cotton flower season is also a small way to contribute to preserving the image of the Vietnamese countryside for the future..." Photo: Van Song. |
