(Baonghean.vn) – Not officially, but there is still a flower affectionately called “sun-welcoming flower”. In hot weather, many plants wither, but flowers seem to try their best to bloom pink and white everywhere. In July, Vinh city is sunny but people can feel the gentleness when feeling the beauty of a simple flower called bougainvillea.

From the far away Central South America, bougainvillea has found its way to popular areas with hot and humid climates such as: Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, Mediterranean region, South Africa, southern United States, etc. In Vietnam, bougainvillea is planted scattered throughout the country. Especially in the Central region, this type of flower is extremely resistant and blooms in hot sun. Photo: Welcoming the sun |

| Familiar with every street and roof, bougainvillea becomes a charming feature that decorates and softens the harshness of the weather. |
 |
| Large flowers are formed by colorful bracts. The colorful bracts can be white, yellow, or red, arranged in 3 or 6 on a short raceme that encloses the small flower inside. |

| At Ho Chi Minh Square, bougainvillea trees are like a "highlight" with hundreds of colorful pots along the central procession path, in front of Uncle Ho's statue. |
 |
The tree has beautiful flowers, bright colors and "diligent" flowers so it is often planted in urban landscape projects. Not as noisy and bustling as the canola flower season, peach blossom season, or lotus flower season... attracting people to take pictures. Bougainvillea brings a feeling of leisure, lightness, no need to jostle. Perhaps, that is what bougainvillea sends us in this busy life every time it blooms. |

| Bougainvillea is peaceful, humble but brilliant, often brightening up any place it appears. According to Mr. Nguyen Tat Dien - Chairman of Nghe An Ornamental Plants Association, bougainvillea is easy to grow, has a high decorative effect, so the association pays a lot of attention to developing and creating landscapes.

| The bougainvillea tree is always full of thorns but its flowers are very fragile. The tree always grows tall so that its flower branches can reach far to catch the pink sunlight, catch the warm wind and sway in the wind. |

 |
| Not only decorative, bougainvillea is also an ornamental flower with high economic value. Each bougainvillea tree in the photo is sold at Chi Trung flower shop (Le Nin Avenue) for nearly 5 million VND. |
 |
| On sunny days in Vinh city, you can see bougainvillea blooming everywhere. According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Giap - Director of Vinh City Ornamental Plant Culture Center, bougainvillea accounts for about 15% of the income from ornamental plants and flowers that members of the Center produce. |
