Hanoi – capital of a millennial culture – has various scenes thanks to colourful flowers marking the approach of different seasons in a year.
Four seasons in Hanoi create romantic backdrops – light colour in spring, colourful summer, milky fragrant autumn and chilly winter with ox-eye daisies.
Spring in Hanoi is famous for Hoa Sua, also known as Dalbergia bouruana gagu flowers, which have become an integral part of Hanoiains.
White lily flowers (Lilium candidum) can be found everywhere along Hanoi streets in April, inspiring the passers-by with its white and green colours and delightful fragrance.
With the arrival of summer in June, visitors to Hanoi have the opportunity to see the natural and pure beauty of lotus flowers in full bloom, especially in Ho Tay (West Lake).
The fragrant Hoa Sua or “milk flower” is considered the symbol of autumn in Hanoi for generations. Blossoming when fall arrives, Hoa Sua is a classic topic in songs, poems about Hanoi, and delights everyone who loves the capital city.
Early winter in Hanoi is marked by the scented wafts of Cuc Hoa Mi, or ox-eye daisies, in full bloom and the beautiful sight of their yellow to brownish centres with showy white petals.
