Top 12 Most Beautiful Flowers by Month of the Year

In contrast to the warm, vivid red of the Cotton flower, April brings you the pure white charm of the Lily. With its unique shape resembling a saxophone, combined with its gentle fragrance, this flower will give you a memorable and striking calendar page, without much hesitation.

If you don't want to travel to large flower gardens, you can stop by the streets where vendors sell lilies on their bicycles, a characteristic sight of Hanoi during flower seasons. Moreover, in Hanoi, lilies are widely cultivated in areas like Tay Tuu (Bac Tu Liem) and Nhat Tan (Tay Ho, 264 Au Co Street, turn into).

When we think of May, the first thing that comes to mind is the season of the Red Flamboyant blooming all over Hai Phong city. However, the Flamboyant flowers bloom everywhere, and it's not hard to gather a basket full of these vibrant blossoms. They symbolize youthful days, summer's farewell, and the lingering memories of school.

Interwoven with the deep red hues is the loyal purple of the Lagerstroemia flowers. This perfect combination represents the intense, sweltering heat of summer, doesn’t it? Once again, it’s a tough choice for your next calendar page.

If the Red Flamboyant and Purple Lagerstroemia still stretch their colors into June, then the golden hue of the Yellow Butterfly flower will bring extra warmth to your mid-year. If you’ve ever experienced the joys and sorrows of school days, you can never forget the fluttering petals of the Yellow Butterfly flower dancing in the wind.

It’s a perfect calendar page choice, unforgettable and uniquely charming. And you don’t have to look far, as the familiar streets of Hanoi greet you with petals floating in the breeze, creating a dreamy, romantic scene.

The Lotus Flower is considered the national flower of Vietnam. The defining feature of July is the blooming of the Lotus Flower. Pink, fragrant blossoms nestled between large, lush green leaves, or pure white petals with golden stamens gently swaying in the late summer breeze.

It’s easy to enjoy a poetic moment with a cup of lotus-scented tea. Large lotus ponds in the West Lake water park area are always open to welcome visitors during the hot and humid summer days. Don’t miss out on capturing beautiful moments for your year’s calendar.

As the pink hues gradually fade, August brings us the brilliant yellow of the Sunflower, a flower that always turns towards the sun. Beyond the endless sunflower fields in Nghe An, people in Hanoi can also enjoy this stunning sight at Co Phap Pagoda in Bac Ninh.

If you don’t have time for a getaway, you can still capture beautiful moments on the streets of Hanoi next to roaming flower vendors.

Some people find the strong scent of Milk Flowers too overpowering, but this unique and fragrant flower is a signature of Hanoi's autumn. Instead, September leads us to the golden hues of Chrysanthemums. These flowers come in various sizes, from tiny Marigolds to the large yellow and white varieties...

Autumn and chrysanthemums are often mentioned in romantic songs, such as: "The Poem of Late Autumn" "... Autumn's golden chrysanthemums, just you and me. Just you and me, belonging to the old autumn. Just you and me, with love staying behind..."

What a beautiful and dreamy atmosphere for the ninth month of the year, right?

If you want something more unique, you can visit the wild chrysanthemums in Ha Giang, with their distinctive orange-red color.

The Buckwheat Flower, once a simple and humble bloom in Hà Giang, has now become a popular ‘check-in’ flower for travelers visiting the region. The Buckwheat Flower season in Hà Giang lasts from early October to the end of December. Each time it blossoms, it reveals a beauty that enchants and captivates: raw and untouched like the mountains, yet gentle and delicate like the colorful patterns of the Mong ethnic women’s attire. Typically, the flowers bloom for about a month, starting as white, then transitioning to pink, violet, and finally deep red. If you visit Hà Giang in October, don’t miss the stunning sight of the Buckwheat Flower – a unique cultural beauty of Vietnam.

If you’re unable to travel far, you can still enjoy the soft violet hues of Forget-Me-Nots at the man-made flower gardens open for visitors to take photos, located in Tây Tựu (Bắc Từ Liêm) and Nhật Tân (Tây Hồ, alley 264, Âu Cơ street). Forget-Me-Nots are known for symbolizing loyalty and everlasting love between couples. In fact, there are 50 different types of Forget-Me-Nots, each with its own distinct shape and color. These flowers are often chosen by families to plant in their gardens or by couples as a romantic gift for their loved ones.

As the deep purple of Forget-me-nots fades away, November brings a sky full of fluffy white clouds and the delicate, soft petals of Chrysanthemums. No need to look far—on the chilly November streets, the cold air feels like it’s blanketed with the snow-like white of the Chrysanthemum flowers.

What a perfect transition for the last pages of the calendar, right? Along with the white Chrysanthemums, you can also find the unique pinkish-purple hue of a foreign flower: Phong Diep (Tuy Diep). This fragile flower blooms for just about three weeks and is popular among the youth for year-end photo shoots at gardens like Nhat Tan and the Bãi đá Sông Hồng (next to the West Lake Water Park). The entrance fee here is 50,000 VND per visit, which is relatively high compared to other flower gardens.

The final month of the year brings us a vibrant array of flowers in bright colors, heralding the arrival of spring. For those who appreciate traditional beauty, don’t miss the purple hues of Violet, complemented by the golden, pink, purple, red, and orange blooms of the Peony.

The last page of the year’s calendar will feel truly special and cozy, enriched by the familiar flowers of Tết, cherished for generations.

The start of the new year is an ideal time to relax, enjoy the spring air, and capture some memorable photos. In particular, during the spring when countless flowers bloom, your photos will have an even more magical and radiant quality. It's hard to pick which flower is the most beautiful, but January is often defined by the Peach Blossom (in the North) and the Apricot Blossom (in the South).

Peach Blossoms come in shades of soft pink and deep crimson. Apricot Blossoms are usually yellow or white. It's easy to find stunning Peach and Apricot flower gardens, or you can simply visit one of the many spring flower markets. If you're in Hanoi, don’t miss the famous flower markets in the Old Quarter: Hang Luoc, Quang Ba, and Kim Nguu.

Still in the vibrant atmosphere of spring, February offers many wonderful flower choices. However, what truly defines Hanoi in February are the Butterfly Flowers, blooming in a rainbow of yellow, white, pink, purple, and orange hues, delicate and fragile in the spring breeze. You don't need to look far to find these colorful blooms—you're likely to encounter them in places like Hoan Kiem Lake, Ly Thai To Garden, or Thong Nhat Park (Lenin Park).

Even more special are the streets that seem covered in white snow from the blooming of the Milk Flower. What a perfect sight for the second month of the new year!

When March arrives, we immediately think of the Rice Flowers, which are immortalized in many famous poems and songs. These flowers are not hard to find, especially around Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi.

Beyond the capital's well-known charm, March also brings a touch of Korean beauty with the vibrant Hydrangea flowers, blooming in seven stunning colors. These flowers can last for up to 2 or 3 months if well cared for. Choosing between the traditional Rice Flowers and the exotic Hydrangeas makes for a tough decision for the third month of the year, doesn't it?
