Pure April Memories

April knocks on the door, bringing with it the scent of the changing seasons, when the gentle spring rains give way to the first rays of summer sunshine. In the sunshine that still has a bit of the chill of the old season, lilies - the flowers of April - begin to bloom, covering the streets in a pure white color, like clear musical notes in the symphony of heaven and earth. Many people wait for April to come to immerse themselves in the pure white color of lilies, although the flower season comes every year, but each flower season can never be the same for people's hearts.

Lilies are also known as lilies or western flowers, but they only bloom in April, so flower lovers often call lilies the flowers of April. The pure white flowers, proudly stretching on green branches, like small trumpets calling summer back in a shy, gentle way. Not as brilliant and proud as roses, not as ostentatious as daisies, lilies have an elegant, simple beauty but make people fascinated. Holding a bunch of white lilies in hand, people's hearts suddenly calm down, as if finding a bit of peace in the hustle and bustle of life.

People love lilies not only for their beauty but also for their gentle fragrance, like a whisper, a vague nostalgia of the old days. Flowers are not picky about the vase or the space in which they bloom, so everyone can admire lilies in their own way. There are days when just a vase of lilies in the corner of the room is enough to ease the early summer heat, making people feel relaxed in the midst of life's hustle and bustle. There are days when just a lily in a daily drinking glass placed next to the computer desk is enough to ease the stress of the office.

The lily is as simple as that, like a quiet, discreet but attractive girl. Therefore, in simple houses, some people carefully place a vase of lilies on the table, so that every morning when waking up, they can look at it and inhale its faint scent, as a way to enjoy the fragile beauty of time.

Perhaps it is this simple beauty that has made lilies a source of inspiration for artists to create art, and flower lovers certainly cannot forget the classic painting of a young girl with lilies by To Ngoc Van. It is the image of a girl wearing a white ao dai sitting leaning towards the vase. Her left hand is placed on her hair, her right hand gently caresses the petals, her face is sad and dreamy. The young girl's figure forms an arc as if embracing the lily.

In Thai Nguyen, lilies do not bloom as much as in Hanoi and some other provinces in the country, but when April comes, the flower stalls along Ben Oanh Street in Thai Market are all white. And every morning on the streets in the city center, you can see old bicycles carrying flower boxes floating among the hustle and bustle of vehicles and people. The lilies of April do not last long, they only stop by for a moment and then quietly leave. But in that moment, the white color remains pure like a beautiful memory...

April is coming, pure white lilies are calling, what are you waiting for without arranging for yourself a vase of April flowers.
