NDO - In the third lunar month, the dry spring sunshine chases away the light drizzle. The red cotton tree, a rustic flower of the Northern countryside, is in full bloom again, lighting up the sky with a fiery red. The season of the red cotton tree not only marks the transition from spring to summer, but also evokes a beautiful, emotional cultural feature of the Vietnamese countryside.

Standing silently at the village entrance, the ferry or the communal house yard, the kapok tree is like a silent witness of the Northern countryside.

Not only beautifying the spring sky, the red cotton flower also preserves community memories, connecting life and culture in Vietnamese villages.

Many villages consider the kapok tree a “historical landmark” - both symbolic and a spiritual fulcrum that unites the community.

When spring has faded and summer has come, the kapok tree sheds all its leaves, leaving behind bare branches that stretch up to dye the sky red.

From the old tree trunks, clusters of bright red flowers bloom.

At the end of March, flowers fall into a red carpet under the old trees, decorating the countryside with a brilliant and peaceful beauty.

The petals touched the ground, bright red like small streaks of fire along the roadside, quietly preserving a bit of peace in the flow of spring.

Red March - the bridge between spring and summer.

The red flower season dyes the countryside with a color that is both brilliant and quiet.

From the old village corners to the modern city, the red cotton flowers not only dye the space red but also light up the memories and bright colors of Vietnamese culture. That red color is the bridge connecting tradition with modernity, preserving the identity of the homeland amidst the flow of urban life that is changing day by day.
