Outside our hotel in Sapa, Vietnam. Stayed at Pao’s Sapa. This flower is called Banana Blossoms. It is a symbol of wealth, love, and beauty.

Welcome to my creative corner! Here, I share my photos, travel stories, random thoughts, and a bit of myself.
So beautiful and exotic.
True, it does look like it. Thanks Rebecca.
Looks like it. Thanks Rebecca.
How silly of me. It’s never occurred to me to wonder what the flowers that precede the fruit look like. Very exotic!
Common in Southeast Asia. Thanks Margaret.
Not your fault … very common in Southeast Asia though.
Definitely a beauty xx
Yes it is. Thanks Jo.
Wonderful captures. They do look similar to the banana flowers we have here.
Yes I guess so. But this one is also used as decor in the hotel so it is looking more polished.
Beautiful! 😊
Thanks so much Pepper.
Oh, these are beautiful. I love the blossoms’ shade of red. Great photos especially the closeup, Teresa!
Thanks Suzette.
Stunning blooms! I wonder if these are the same banana blossoms that Thai restaurants batter and deepfry?
I guess they are the same. The ones in the Philippines are darker in shade and we eat it as a vegetable
