Hanoi during the days of late February becomes more beautiful and gentle because it is decorated by white and purple Ban flowers.
Anyone passing Bac Son street, Hanoi, is impressed by the Ban flower blossoms.
There are many kinds of Ban flower. Howver, most of Ban flowers in Hanoi are white and purple.
At the beginning of 1960, to respond to the tree planting festival launched by President Ho Chi Minh, urban planners have tried to plant Ban flowers in several streets, parks and around Hoan Kiem lake in Hanoi.
When the Ban flowers blossom, the streets in Hanoi seem to be more romantic. People take photos with Ban flowers at Bac Son street. Over the past two years, purple Ban flower trees are planted along several streets.
