Vietnam 2024 Floral Seasons in Hanoi

The flowers introduced in the stamp set are adapted from the lyrics of the song Hanoi's 12 flower seasons, a composition by musician Giang Son.

The first stamp set with the theme "Hanoi's 12 flower seasons" was released on April 26, 2014.  The stamp set was designed by artist Nguyen Quang Vinh in a graphic style. 

The peach blossom stamp set costs 4.000 VND.  Peach blossom is a symbolic flower of spring in the North and in January and around Tet. Peaches come in many colors, but the most famous in Nhat Tan peach village is the peach blossom, a type of peach that blooms with large, multi-layered petals and has a beautiful red mixed with lotus pink color. 

The Hoa Ban stamp set costs 6.000 VND.

In February, Hanoi is dyed by the dreamy purple color of ban flowers. Although the ban flower is not a native flower of Hanoi, it is a flower of the Northwest region, but when grown in Hanoi, the pale pink petals mixed with the purple petals look like the "hearts" of the flower. Highland ethnic people head towards the Capital. Every season when the banyan flowers bloom, the whole long street seems to be dyed purple. 

The Sua flower stamp set costs 10.500 VND.

In March, the whole of Hanoi awakens with the white color of sua flowers, clusters of pure white sua flowers stand out among the green buds, Hanoi suddenly becomes more sparkling, more dreamy each season of sua flowers blooming. When the sua flowers fall, the fragile white petals fly away, creating white carpeted streets like in a fairy tale, making Hanoi's old town more romantic.

【邮票简介】

木芙蓉又名芙蓉花、酒醉芙蓉、三醉芙蓉，为锦葵科木槿属落叶灌木或小乔木，原产我国黄河流域及华东、华南各地，有单瓣与重瓣之分。其花朵娇美硕大，朝开暮谢。因花内色素会随着温度和酸碱浓度的变化而变，花朵在清晨初开时为洁白色或淡红色，午后转为粉红色，到傍晚花朵快闭合时，颜色呈深红色，故称“三醉芙蓉”。花、叶均可入药，有清热解毒、消肿排脓、凉血止血之效。

该套邮票表现了木芙蓉、金秋红、重瓣白、醉芙蓉。邮票采用传统的中国工笔画法，用笔简练生动、渲染层次丰富、色彩浓淡相宜，所绘花瓣卷褶分明、叶片清润简洁，花叶组合疏密得当、俯仰相应。画面背景以工笔白描辅助表现木芙蓉的茎杆形态，进一步丰富了画面层次。

Israel 2020 Summer Flowers

Relatively few flowers bloom in Israel in summer due to the lack of rain during this arid season. It is therefore not surprising that most of the species that do bloom are found in damp habitats such as pools, riverbanks and beside swamps, where they have sufficient water. These habitats are crowded and plants compete for space and light. Most of them have complex root systems and grow vigorously.

Some “bold” plants grow among rocks and utilize the small amounts of water that are saturated into the plaster and stone.

As a result of the small number of insects during this season, most of the plants remain wide open and are visited by many insect species.

Dittrichia viscosa

The inula grows along river banks and beside swamps, the “silt” that is part of its name in Hebrew attests to its original habitat. The inula also became an invader plant because of human activity and it is prevalent along roads, in garbage heaps and abandoned buildings. Inula seeds are scattered by the wind and the seedlings are less “demanding” than other plant species. They take over habitats that are meager in minerals such as roadsides and quarry waste.

The shoulders of new roads abound with the inula blossoms that appear in late summer, a nearly flowerless season. Natan Yonatan wrote in his poem “Coexistence in a Dream”: Do not eradicate the rare wild plants / the end of the inula erases testimony from roadside history.” With the reappearance of wild plants, and after years of human interference, the inula has disappeared because it cannot compete with other plants which overshadow it and take over the habitat.

Epilobium hirsutum

In summer, when plants bloom in damp habitats, it is impossible to ignore the bold pink blossoms of the willowherb plant. The many visitors to these flowers agree: butterflies, wild bees and flies that descend upon the nectar and pollinate the plants.

Many gardeners throughout the world embraced the willowherb thanks to its beautiful flowers but it soon became apparent that it is a Trojan horse – a single plant can create tens of thousands of small hairy seeds that are carried by the wind and take over wide areas. This immense invasive capability has turned it into a dubious weed, especially in North America and Australia.

Capparis Zoharyi

Few plants are able to grow in walls and among rocks in harsh conditions with no soil and water. It is therefore no wonder that Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: “There are three impudent ones: The Jewish people among the nations; the dog among animals; and the rooster among birds. And some also say: Also the goat among small cattle and also the caper bush among trees” (Bavli Beytza 25:2)

The flower buds that are preserved in vinegar or salt are called capers and can be found in any store. This fruit was so significant that it was said: “The Sages taught: There was an incident with a pious man in which a breach was made in the fence around his field, and when he saw it he decided to fence it in. And then he remembered that it was Shabbat. And that pious man refrained from fixing the fence forever because he had thought about fixing it on Shabbat. And a miracle was done for him, and a caper bush grew in the breach, thereby closing it up. And from it and its produce he then received his livelihood and the livelihood of the members of his household (Shabbat 150:72). In other words, the bush was large enough and so full of fruit that it supported an entire family
