National Flower: Lotus, in Hanoi's West Lake
Missing Hanoi and its typical flower in different time, season, holiday... For summer, it's Lotus, especially in West Lake in Hanoi, which is now considered as National Flower. Some new photo here:

End of April-beginning of May in Ha Noi is time for the Dracontomelon duperreanum (Cay Sau: A popular ever-green big tree in its old street) to give up old yellow leaves in just few days, then grow up new young-green leaves and small white flowers and then its sour green fruits so famous for young girls-schoolpupils . But not this year for me... So pity
1. Young girl and the fallen yellow leaves on pavement:
Da Lat, a resort city in the Central Highland, middle Vietnam, has just found a very rare flower: White Flamboyant, in addition to the Violete one which is already a pride for the city. The flower resulted from a rare selection/hybrid and is flowering only this year, right now, attracting a lot of visitors. Take a look here:
- These are the usual, of red color, ones on a tree by the famous "Sword Return" Lake in the center of Hanoi:
- And these are the Violet one - Jacaranda mimosifolia, or Jacaranda acutifolia - in Da Lat (+ one in Thuy's hand !):

French lyrics:
Mama
Quand ma poupée grandira je veux qu'elle te ressemble
Mama
Et nous serons très heureux ensemble
Oui je me revois
Une poupée dans les bras
Lui parlant tout bas
Me parlant de toi
Elle était si belle
Vêtue de dentelles
Elle me souriait
Et je te disais
Mama
Quand ma poupée grandira je veux qu'elle te ressemble
Mama
Et nous serons très heureux ensemble
