(HBO) – Although there is about more than half a month to the upcoming Lunar New Year, at this time, many local people in Hoa Binh city are eager to find and choose flowers, bonsai for Tet holiday. Looking around the flower shops in the city, the gardeners are beginning their end- year sales with flowers mainly preferred for Tet.

 

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.
