Covering more than one hectare, the Amaratoide Garden, blooming with magnificent small purple flowers, creates a beautifully poetic and romantic scene in the heart of Hanoi.
"Amaratoide, or Cuc Bach Nhat in Vietnamese, has been planted in our country for a long time, but it only became popular a few years ago. This year's weather is warm and the sun is not too harsh, which helps the color of the flowers to be uniformly beautiful," Truong The Hung, owner of the Amaratoide Garden on Thach Cau Street in Hanoi's Long Bien District, told The Hanoi Times.
Approximately 150,000 bushes of Amaratoide flowers have a striking purple color that reminds many people of the lavender fields of France or Italy. Photos: Duy Khanh/The Hanoi Times |
