Hard to take my eyes off the image of the cotton flowers in March

March - the season of blooming rice - is also the season that brings back memories of peaceful childhoods for many people. This is a familiar flower to the people of the Northern Delta, almost every village has a cotton tree at the village entrance, as a sign to mark the return of children far from home.

The cotton tree, also known as the cotton tree, is often grown in the North, and blooms only once a year around March. One of the most famous places to take photos of cotton trees is the row of trees in Doan Nu village, An My commune, My Duc district, Hanoi.

Ba Co Temple is located in Dong Loan village, Lang Son commune, Yen Dung district, Bac Giang, on the dike of Thuong river, and is also visited by many flower lovers every March.

Two ancient cotton trees with brilliant red flowers, casting shadows on the tiled roof and reflecting on the river, have become a classic image when referring to the Northern countryside.

The appearance of the royal poinciana flowers at the right time is a sign that the cold days of late winter are about to pass, welcoming the approaching summer.

The kapok flowers have thick petals, a brilliant orange-red color like spots of fire, printed on the gray-blue sky of humid spring days. When they fall, the flowers still retain their five petals as when they first bloomed.

The red cotton tree flower is also one of the flowers that inspires many Vietnamese photographers, musicians, poets and painters.

The royal poinciana tree stands tall in the middle of the dike.

The kapok tree is reflected on the water surface at Thay Pagoda - an ancient scenic spot in Quoc Oai district, Hanoi.

You can also visit villages in Bac Ninh province to enjoy the spring atmosphere by the ferry, under the shade of the cotton trees in full bloom.

If you are a city dweller and do not want to go far, flower lovers can stop by the street corner across from the Vietnam History Museum these days. A bright red color is covering the street corner, making everyone passing by stop and look.

Royal poinciana flowers blooming in the middle of the street are like a bit of rustic countryside image, nestled among the crowded, cramped urban area.

The kapok flowers usually bloom at the same time. When they bloom, all their leaves fall off, leaving only a striking red color among the dark brown tree canopies.
