From the huge of glass houses of Dalat Hansfarm Company located in Nguyen Tu Luc (Ward 8), many varieties of flowers blooming.

Feeling the beauty of Da Lat’s flowers
Have you ever walked along the villa street of Tran Hung Dao - Hung Vuong Street? Visitors here will have the chance to enjoy a peaceful space of dandelion flowers with thousands of yellow petals like rays of light dotting the hillside. Have you ever seen a rose garden in the dawn mist? The sun rises and lights up the dewdrops on the glittering grass and rose flowers.
When the dewdrops dry, the green grass vibrates softly in the morning wind.
Da Lat changes its seasons silently, bringing the hot sun and sometimes soft winds. Rose gardens suddenly change to bright yellow garden under the late afternoon sun.
Have you ever been completely dumfounded by the purple of Bim Bim flowers? These bud-flowers hide behind the evening dewdrops and they seem to become candles under the bright sun in the morning.
The morning sun makes them warmer and they gradually bloom into five-petal flowers vibrating in the wind. It is a surprise.
The sunset will bring life of flower to an end. However, the life cycle of flowers will continue. It is an impressive change and miracle of nature.
Visitors will be also attracted by the floral roofs and gates of other liana flowers, such as yellow Mong Cop and Blue Mong Cop.
Have you ever completely realised the beauty of wild flowers of Da Lat?
Da Lat is endowed with hundreds of varieties of wild flowers. Some have names and some have never had a name. Visitors will be impressed by sun-like bright yellow colour of Mimosa, the purple colour of climbing roses and the wild yellow colour of wild sunflowers. It seems that the beauty and aroma of these wild flowers are created from the wind and sun of this land. Many people love Mimosa and bring them to cultivate in regions having similar natural conditions to Da Lat, but Mimosa never produce the same kind of colour and aroma.
Although wild flowers do not receive any care from people, they still bring the most colourful flowers and the best aroma to people.
However, recent urbanization has been depriving land of wild flowers destroying the piquant beauty of Da Lat’s wild flowers.
To solve this problem, the Provincial People’s council has launched a propaganda program calling for local people to plant flowers around their houses and villages. Pine forestation is encouraging. The local authorities promise to offer valuable awards to those contributing to planting, collecting and preserving wild flowers. According to the plan, Da Lat will devote certain areas to plant wild flowers, such as Mimosa around Xuan Huong Lake, cherry blossom trees on Tran Hung Dao and Tran Phu Street, white flowers on Yen The slope, red-graduation flower on Mai Anh hill, cherry blossom and Mimosa around Golden Stream (Suoi Vang), Mimosa tourism centres and wild sunflowers for Prenn mountain pass.
