For generations, Hoa Ban (Bauhinia) flowers have
been associated culturally and spiritually with
Thai and Tay ethnic minority groups living in
Vietnams northwestern mountains
15
Local people consider Ban, which bloom in March,
the king of flowers. In the Thai language,
ban means sweet. A Ban tree is 2 to 6 meters
tall and has rough, grey bark and abundant long
branches
16
Ban flowers have soft, sweet fragrance. In
March, when Ban season peaks, mountain sides
covered in flowering Ban trees create a romantic
picture
17
The five-petaled flowers can be purple, white, or
red, but the majority are white. White Ban
flowers often appear in poems to symbolize the
charm and beauty of Thái and Tày women
18
There are three myths explaining the origin of
Ban flowers, all of which praise the flower as a
symbol of pure, faithful love as well as filial
piety and gratitude
19
Local legend has it that in the northwest there
was a beautiful girl named Ban, blessed with a
voice that could make any boy fall in love
20
However, she had a crush on Khum, a good hunter
and farmer
21
Overhearing her father discussing betrothing her
to a rich mans son, Ban left home to find her
lover, but without success
22
Finally, she died of exhaustion and turned into a
white flower locals call Ban or Bauhinia - a
symbol of faithful love. Khum, who eventually
passed away, turned into a lonely bird
23
With pristine white, ban petals create a limpid
beauty for northwestern forests and mountains
24
H'Mong women walk on narrow and dangerous
mountainous roads surrounded by Bauhinia flowers
to go to their fields.
25
The Thai people have discovered that Ban trees
have many benefits. The bark can be used as an
indigo dye, the flowers and leaves can cure sore
throats, and the seeds and buds can be boiled and
eaten
26
Ban flowers can be eaten, too, and are often
mixed into salads with galangal, bamboo shoots,
and wild vegetables, or stir-fried with garlic,
stewed with trotters, and then boiled and served
with cham cheo a local spice made of wild
herbs. Dishes made with Ban flowers are eaten as
an everyday meal or served at banquets. The
flower has become a signature ingredient of the
Thai people
