This year, Ho Chi Minh City has more than 130 flower shops dotted in every corner of the city. This makes it convenient for city dwellers to purchase flowers.
In the flower market at September 23rd Park, besides traditional decorative plants such as apricot trees, peach blossom, orchids and daisies, a lot of varieties of plants with strange shapes at not too high prices are showcased.
Apricot symbolises Tet in the south. This year, small and medium apricot trees range from 300,000 - 1 million dong, not much higher than last year.
Peach blossom, available in the north during Tet, is transported from the north, as well as from the Central Highlands city of Da Lat at cheaper prices.
Due to the lingering economic recession, many customers just come to browse. Therefore, sales are far from sellers’ expectations.
