With the reasonable price and many Tet
products oriented, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy’s shop in Phuong Lam Ward (Hoa Binh
city) always attracts customers to buy flowers and bonsai for Tet.
On the road of Tran Hung Dao, right at the
center of Hoa Binh city, the flower shop of Ms. Bui Thi Hang is busy with a lot
of customers on the days at the end of the year.
Specializing in roses and papery flowers, but
on these Tet-upcoming days, Ms. Hang expands some more items for Tet such as
poinsettia, daisy, Lonicera japonica and lucky plants, which are most favored
by customers.
Not only Ms. Hang’s shop but also many flower
shops in the city of Hoa Binh are in the peak of selling Tet flowers. In
general, on this Tet holiday, the gardeners mainly get the traditional items
with reasonable prices to suit with the majority tastes of flower players. Ms.
Nguyen Thi Thuy, the bonsai garden owner in Phuong Lam Ward said: According to
the concept, plants bring luck and fortune for a new year. Flower players still have perspectives that
according to the folk, the traditional plants bring fortune like small –sized
lonicera japonica placing on the table, or red poinsettia, tower – stacked
green lucky plants and gerberas. The prices of these types are higher not much
than normal days. A lonicera japonica is sold at the price of 300-400.000
dongs; a tower – stacked lucky plant is at 200- 300.000 dongs depending on
sizes.
Besides the Feng Shui elements, this year,
foreign roses and gerberas become the new trend of playing flowers on Tet
occasion. Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung in Tan Thinh Ward, Hoa Binh city shared: On Tet
days, people rarely buy roses but now there are many beautiful kinds of foreign
roses, which are large, odorous, and suitable for in - home decoration.
Imagining if there is a rose plant with odorless smelling in the house on Tet
occasion, it would make the family environment so romantic.
Keeping up with this trend, Ms. Hang’s shop
has imported a lot of foreign roses with large blooms, attractive odor. They
are being planted in the eye-catching pots, suitable for in- home decoration.
In addition, there are some foreign rose bushes or valuable roses like Van Khoi
or rosewood, which are being cared, carved and trimmed thoroughly for Tet
decoration.
Ms. Bui Thi Hang, the flower shop owner on
Tran Hung Dao road said: each pot of foreign roses has the price of 200-300.000
dong, depending on its size. When we selected the products, we mainly chose the
plants with many buds, beautiful shapes, abundant flowers and odorless,
suitable for interior decoration. In addition, there are some small bonsai of
roses covered with moss. This type is so hot in the market because of beautiful
shapes, odorless flowers, but the price is quite high; then, the shop only gets
according to the customers’ orders. Moreover, the roses of semi-climbed bushes
created in beautiful shapes are the favorable items for professional customers
of playing flowers on Tet occasion.
There is a new trend this year. Many women
collect the plants and flowers and plant by themselves instead of choosing the
planted flower pots. This is one of the reasons to make the markets of flowers
and bonsai become more exciting and stranger than every year. Ms. Nguyen Thi
Huong in Group 4, Phuong Lam Ward shared: Self- planting flowers and caring
them for Tet are so interesting. Every day, I take care and watch the change of
each flower. When buying the plants, I asked the gardener to guide how to take
care of the flowers for blooming right on Tet occasion. Therefore, it is so
happier and more economical than buying available flower pots in the market.
