Just walking down the streets of Hanoi in April, one can easily see old bicycles loaded with lilies roaming all over the streets, from Yen Phu, Phan Dinh Phung, to Hoang Hoa Tham, Kim Ma... or even in the spaces of restaurants. Photo: Bang Pham

Lilies usually bloom in late March, are at their most brilliant in early April, and last less than a month. The shy girls in their twenties with their bouquets create a scene that is both poetic and peaceful.

Not only present on street vendors, lilies also infiltrate the spaces of many Hanoi coffee shops. These days, it is not difficult to see vases of pure white lilies placed right at the entrance, on the bar counter or in the sunny windows of coffee shops... attracting young people to check-in.

The lily season is often called “the season of memories”. Not because the flowers have a scent, but because their beauty reminds us of pure things that have passed, such as first love, like the pure, clear mornings...

Lilies are not bright or colorful, so when taking pictures with this flower, young people often choose gentle, delicate outfits as a way to blend in with the pure beauty of April.

Young people also pose for virtual photos with lilies in vases at home. Photo: Anh Ngoc
