The cotton tree flower blooms in late spring, in March, the moment signaling the cold days are about to pass, giving way to the summer sunshine.

The red cotton tree, a bright red color in the sky, is associated with a peaceful scene and has long become the soul of every Vietnamese village, associated with the memories of those far from home remembering their roots.
