"Flowers of compassion" bloom brightly in Thot Not

(CTO) - It's a field of periwinkle flowers, but many affectionately call it "flowers of compassion" because it's grown for charitable purposes, primarily for making traditional medicine. The field is in full bloom, becoming an interesting and meaningful tourist attraction.

The periwinkle flowers bask in the sunlight.

This periwinkle flower field is located on the Thot Not bypass, in Thot Not ward, Can Tho city. From National Highway 91, turn onto the bypass and you'll reach the flower field not far away, near the Hoang Gia new urban area.

The periwinkle fields stretch endlessly, covering vast areas.

The flower field, spanning over 3 acres, is planted entirely with periwinkle flowers, creating an incredibly beautiful landscape. The periwinkle flowers are planted in two colors, pinkish-purple and white, blending together like a vast carpet of flowers, radiant in the sunlight. The surrounding natural scenery further enhances the beauty of this flower field.

The small ditch used to water the periwinkle flowers also contributes to the coolness of the space.

This isn't just a flower field for landscaping; it's a charitable medicinal herb garden. According to folk experience, the roots and leaves of the periwinkle plant have a bitter taste and cooling properties. The roots can be used to expel worms and reduce fever; the leaves also have the effect of promoting blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, detoxifying, treating minor burns, and curing insomnia…

Visitors are free to explore and take photos without any cost or permission, but the owner only asks for one simple thing: please do not trample on the plants, as they are used as medicine to treat diseases after harvesting.

"These flowers are used for medicinal purposes, please don't trample on them!"
