Distinctive, vibrant Bun blossom adorns Hanoi

It is time for residents and visitors to save the moments with photographs during these days of late March and early April when Hanoi streets don a romantic coat of Hoa Ban (Orchid Tree flowers), Hoa Sua (Dalbergia Tonkinensis flowers), and Hoa Phong Linh (Yellow Tabebuia flowers). The Bun Flower is a lesser-known variety of flowers, though. Only three Bun trees have been found in the capital city thus far. 

The Bun tree, also known as Bach hoa or Man man (Capparaceae), blooms only once a year in late March or early April. The brilliant flowers are pure white at first, then turn bright yellow in full bloom, releasing a mild sweet fragrance.
The first Bun tree found in Hanoi several years ago is planted in front of the Cultural House of Dinh Thon Village, My Dinh Ward, Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi.
The tree, with a large old trunk and two broad canopies, is said to be over 300 years old.
The second Bun plant in Hanoi was found in Ha Tri Village, Ha Cau Ward, Ha Dong District. After a recent viral spread on social networks, the tree with strikingly beautiful flowers has become better known among people.

According to Tuan Anh, a resident of Ha Tri Village in Ha Dong District, the tree in front of his house has been there since he was a young boy. “I am so lucky to have this Bun tree, a rare plant, growing right in front of my door. It gives me a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the flowers whenever I want,” he said.
 According to the locals, no one in the village knows exactly how old the tree is, but it is said to be older than any middle-aged person in the village.
Hidden in a deep alley at 16 Chua Boc Street in Dong Da District, Hanoi’s lesser-known third Bun tree was found to be about 70 years old.

Because they are so uncommon, these Bun trees are truly unique. In addition, the clusters of their blooms are also very lovely. While the outer flowers are yellow, the ones in the cluster’s center are white.
 The fragrance of the flowers is most intense at night and early in the morning.

The lovely and distinctive kind of blossom, however, only lives for one month. Professional and amateur photographers alike are drawn to the exceptional beauty of these rare trees during the Bun Flower season.
 Each Bun flower carries 13 to 18 stamens, each about 10 centimeters long, with plural stamina in purple.
Bun trees often grow wild in the central provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Binh and Thua Thien – Hue and are rarely planted in Vietnam’s big cities. The Bun tree in Dinh Thon Village, My Dinh Ward, Nam Tu Liem District, is the oldest in Hanoi.

Development of Capital: The Significance of Family Values

Every day, Nguyen Tuyet Nhung patiently waits until 7 p.m. for her children and grandchildren to come home from school and work, and the entire family gathers around the table. Sharing a meal and discussing their day is a tradition that Nhung’s family strives to uphold, even in the absence of her late husband. “In today’s world, my children are either busy or engrossed in their own social interests, and I feel that dinner time is the only opportunity for family interaction,” she expressed, emphasizing the importance of family culture in fostering a civilized society. This concern is also shared by the authorities of Hanoi city. According to Do Dinh Hong, the Director of Hanoi’s Department of Culture and Sports, there is still a prevalence of uncultured behaviors in daily life, and families face challenges in strengthening the connection between family members. The moral standards of Hanoi people and the capital’s family value system are being undermined in today’s society. To address ...
