(Fatherland) - In early May, many streets of Hanoi are dyed purple with Lagerstroemia flowers, creating an extremely poetic and peaceful picture.

In early May, on the streets of Hanoi, the purple flowers of the Lagerstroemia have bloomed, signaling the arrival of summer. Rows of Lagerstroemia trees stretch out, blooming with purple flowers, as if to lessen the harsh sunlight.

Lagerstroemia flowers originate from India and are now found in many Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam. Because of their beautiful colors, many provinces and cities in Vietnam grow this flower to provide shade and beautify the urban landscape.

The faithful purple color of the Lagerstroemia flower is also associated with the childhood of many generations of students.

Lagerstroemia flowers are dark purple or light purple, forming beautiful clusters. Each flower has 6 petals, when blooming they often spread out, the petals are thin and light like paper.

Lagerstroemia flowers come quickly but also fade quickly. After just a few summer rains, the petals fade and gradually fall.

There are many streets in Hanoi that grow this type of tree, typically the road along West Lake, Kim Ma, Dao Tan, Giai Phong, Tran Thai Tong streets,... Especially around Hoan Kiem Lake area, there are many Lagerstroemia trees blooming and showing off their colors.

Lagerstroemia flowers bloom all over Hanoi, spreading their purple color across many streets, creating an extremely poetic and peaceful picture.

In particular, the rows of blooming Lagerstroemia trees on the sidewalks along Hoang Cau Lake are attracting many young people, especially "muses" to come and pose and take photos.

Young people here say that the trees here bloom beautifully, the flowers are very thick and low so it is easy to take pictures. Through social networks, people know to come here.

Lagerstroemia is considered by Hanoians as the flower that heralds summer because when you see Lagerstroemia flowers, you know that summer has truly arrived.

The purple color of the Lagerstroemia makes the scenery here more vivid and beautiful.

Many Lagerstroemia trees bloom densely, covering the entire tree, "hiding" the green of the leaves.

On many streets of the capital, purple Lagerstroemia flowers are in full bloom, the clusters of purple flowers against the clear blue sky make anyone passing by feel moved and stop to admire. The purple color seems to be pouring into the heart of the city...

Along with the purple trumpet tree, this is also the time when royal poinciana flowers begin to bloom.
