Lagerstroemia flowers bloom, "dying purple" the streets of Thai Binh

Walking around many streets in the city at this time, the Lagerstroemia trees are in full bloom, showing off their gentle purple color, bringing poetic beauty to the city in the early summer days.

Lagerstroemia flowers on Ly Bon street, Thai Binh city.

In Thai Binh, Lagerstroemia is planted in many streets, but the most beautiful and impressive are the streets: Tran Nhat Duat, Le Quy Don, Ly Bon, Tran Thai Tong, Nguyen Duc Canh industrial park,...

A flower species originating from India, Lagerstroemia is a small tree with a tall and dense canopy. This flower species usually grows in clusters at the ends of branches, 20-30cm long. When in full bloom, the Lagerstroemia petals spread out to form 6 thin, light, gentle and beautiful petals that evoke many emotions.

Ms. Pham Thi Hoa (Bo Xuyen ward) shared: "I really love taking photos to preserve the beautiful moments of life. Every May, our people have the opportunity to take photos together and admire the sweet beauty of the Lagerstroemia flowers. Hopefully the flowers will bloom longer so that we can enjoy the beauty of this flower more."

The blooming time of Lagerstroemia flowers is from early May to mid-June. Just a few days after blooming, the color of the flowers will fade and then begin to fall gently to the ground. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, the rows of Lagerstroemia trees quietly suck the life force, just waiting for the most beautiful moment once a year with a gentle purple color.

The purple Lagerstroemia flower street in Nguyen Duc Canh industrial park is the hottest check-in spot in recent days.

These days, city residents can easily see images of purple flowers on many streets.

Although not as brilliant as royal poinciana flowers, the purple color of Lagerstroemia has long become a flower that blends into the life of Thai Binh city residents every summer.
