Question -
my vietnamese name is "mai" its a flower. its yellow, and its usually around during spring (viet new year) do you think you know what the english name is? i dont exactly have a picture...
Answer -
Dear mt,

I checked for that flower but I wasn't able to find out which flower it was so I can't give you the English name. There are many possibilities for yellow flowers that bloom in the spring so it is necessary for me to know what it looks like or find the translation in a dictionary. Sorry I couldn't help you.


i heard somewhere that is a plum flower. i looked up plum flowers, but they were white when this is yellow. i have a picture http://www.trekearth.com/images/photos/3479/mai_tet_4.jpg. its a flower especially from vietnam i guess. do you think this could help you out? i guess its a vietnamese plum flower, in my terms. haha. anyway, thanks

Answer
Hi. Well I know in Japan there are plum flowers or blossoms that bloom on plum trees but they are pink. So, I guess for it to be a plum blossom that I know, it would have to be pink. Sorry, I just don't know that much about flowers:(

Good luck in your search:)
