Originating from India, Vo Uu flower is related to a legend about the birthplace of the Buddha in the Lumbini royal garden with a rich variety of flora.
In addition to its beauty, the sorrowless flower can be used to treat women’s diseases as mentioned in the Vietnamese book of valuable medicinal herbs.
Sorrowless flowers blossom all year round but their orange blaze is most prevalent between February and May.
