Check in according to flower seasons

From October is the time when wild sunflowers are bright yellow in the Central Highlands.

The road of dreams

Dalat, in the house overlooking the hill, behind the house, wild sunflowers bloomed, dotting the silvery stone slope with bright yellow. The breathtaking scene made us suddenly realize that it was the end of October, the weather was starting to get a little chilly.

There were two female tourists asking for directions to the wild sunflower field in Bong Lai - Tu Tra. She insisted on driving dozens of kilometers to take pictures with the wild sunflowers.

Actually, if you come to the Central Highlands this season, you don’t need to go far if you want to see wild sunflowers. This wild flower with strong vitality blooms bright yellow right on the roadside, at Da Lat station, under the pine hills, in an empty lot…

But the most popular with tourists are probably the winding roads with bright yellow flowers on the outskirts such as Trai Mat - Cau Dat, Cam Ly - Van Thanh, Bong Lai - Tu Tra, the road through Dinh 3 - Tuyen Lam lake, the extended Nguyen Tri Phuong road in Bao Loc...

The season of wild sunflowers lasts about a month, when the last flowers fade, the cherry blossoms shed their leaves, all their life force is focused on nurturing the flower buds. Once, a woman in Hanoi asked: "Mai is mai, peach is peach, what kind of flower has both mai and peach?"

Yes, I invite you to Da Lat during Tet to see the flower with five petals like apricot blossoms and bright pink like peach blossoms, but not blooming alone. I still call the cherry blossoms more beautiful because of their “solidarity”. When the weather turns to spring, the flower clusters begin to bloom, turning a corner of the sky bright pink.

In Da Lat, just take a walk along Xuan Huong Lake, Tran Hung Dao Street, Tran Quy Cap Street, Da Quy Slope, Tuyen Lam Lake, the road to Trai Mat... and you will see those beautiful pink trees. For Da Lat people, cherry blossoms signal spring. And the year the flowers bloom late means that the cold winter will last for a long time.

For Bao Loc people, the flower of spring is the trumpet flower with its endlessly beautiful pink color. Passersby are sometimes absent-minded, having to stop by the unique pink trees, bare of leaves when passing through Tran Phu Street - National Highway 20, Bao Loc Lake, Nguyen Van Cu Street, Nguyen Cong Tru Street, Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Bui Thi Xuan Street...

The tree was experimentally planted by the city in 2010 and accidentally won the hearts of Bao Loc people and tourists from far away. The pink trumpet flower has a bell shape, blooms in large clusters, and every time a gust of wind passes by, the petals fall, wistfully dyeing the whole street corner pink.

Color of flowers of remembrance

In the land of flowers, even the flowers know how to give in, taking turns to show their beauty. When the pink of the cherry blossoms and trumpet florets fades, around March and April, when the weather gets warmer, the purple phoenix flowers in Anh Sang hamlet, beside Xuan Huong lake, along Tran Phu street, Yersin street, Tuyen Lam lake in Da Lat… begin to bloom with purple flowers, standing out against the blue sky.

Coffee flower season not only attracts tourists to the Central Highlands but also brings hope of prosperity to the people here.

The purple color makes Da Lat more nostalgic, dreamy, and a little sad. That's why the city government named a large road running along Tuyen Lam Lake after this flower - Purple Phoenix Road.

Also at this time, throughout the provinces of the Central Highlands, Di Linh, Bao Loc, Cau Dat - Da Lat of Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Dak Nong... a sweet, gentle fragrance spreads in the air, making the hot summer sun somewhat bearable. That is when the pure white color of coffee flowers blooms, the hills of white flowers continue endlessly.

For the people of the Central Highlands, the coffee blossom season always brings with it a lot of expectations. It is the season when beekeepers get a bumper crop of honey, the season when farmers work hard to water and care for their coffee gardens and wait for them to bear fruit.

Those snow-white, pristine hills of flowers are the hope for food and clothing of many farming families in the coffee capital, and the expectation of tourists from far away who want to admire the magical beauty of the countryside.

Actually, we - people who live with the flower seasons often forget to take pictures with flowers. Even my parents' generation lived in Lam Dong for half their lives but did not have any pictures taken with wild sunflowers, purple phoenix flowers, coffee trees...

Mom said, because life is so busy and the flower seasons just come, naturally and gently like time. Time passes invisible through the window, when you open and close your eyes, you look up and see a flower color floating above your head.
