The beauty of the bright yellow vermicelli flower canopy quickly attracted the young man Minh Tuan. He recorded the blooming moments of the perennial vermicelli tree at the Dan Toc Medicine Cooperative - 16 Chua Boc. However, according to his research, this tree is currently quite difficult to find in Hanoi. The famous vermicelli tree, nearly 300 years old, is located in Dinh Thon village, My Dinh.

Minh Tuan expressed: “This flower only blooms once a year. The flower has a very pleasant fragrance. I also do not understand why a tree as beautiful as the Su flower has become so rare in the capital Hanoi.” Photo: Instagram @mituchan259

The name of the vermicelli flower comes from the fact that the pistils of the flower when blooming resemble vermicelli, so the whole flower looks like a basket of vermicelli. The vermicelli flower has a characteristic yellow and white color, blooming among the green foliage. Photo: Instagram @mituchan259

After only 1 month of blooming, the flower will wither. This flower is often grown in the Central provinces such as Quang Nam, Ninh Thuan, Thua Thien Hue... Photo: Instagram @mituchan259

Minh Tuan suggested that if you want to take pictures of the flower at 16 Chua Boc, you need to ask permission from the doctors because this is an office space. "They saw that I liked looking at the flowers so much that they were happy to let me take pictures, as long as I didn't make any noise and bother other patients," he said.
