| According to the reporter's observation, the peach blossom market in Vinh City has decreased quite a bit after the cold and rainy day of the 28th of Tet. Mr. Nguyen Van Phu - a peach blossom seller on Le Nin Avenue said: "The price of peach blossoms this year was already much cheaper than previous years, before the rainy day, you could buy a beautiful peach blossom branch for about 700,000 VND. However, now most sellers have lowered the price, many beautiful branches are only about 200 - 300,000 VND but they have to be sold. Photo: Lam Tung |

| Meanwhile, kumquat trees are also being heavily discounted by shop owners. On the morning of the 29th of Tet, there were still many unsold kumquat trees on the streets of Vinh City. Photo: Lam Tung |

| In addition, with heavy rain yesterday, the 28th of Tet, many kumquat trees lost fruit in large numbers; many shop owners were quite discouraged, even not putting up trees or taking care of them to sell. Photo: Lam Tung |

| A bonsai seller in Vinh City said: "This year, bonsai trees in the northern provinces are mostly transported to Nghe An for consumption, because the northern provinces sell very little due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Therefore, the supply this year is very large. I imported 200 kumquat trees, but now half of them have not been sold. Although I really want to keep the price to save capital, it is very difficult."

 |
| Because there is not much time left to sell, on the morning of the 29th of Tet, many places have appeared selling kumquats at the same price, such as bonsai kumquats at the same price of 300,000 VND. Photo: Lam Tung |

| Meanwhile, the yellow apricot tree attracted many people's attention on the morning of the 29th of Tet, because the price dropped sharply. Photo: Lam Tung |
 |
| Although there is a decrease, each apricot tree is still worth "millions". The reason why apricot trees have decreased in price is because most of the apricot trees are sold by gardeners. If they cannot be sold, the gardeners will take them home to replant for the following Tet holidays. Photo: Lam Tung |

| According to the reporter's observation, besides peach and kumquat, most types of flowers and ornamental plants have slightly reduced prices compared to previous days. Photo: Lam Tung |

| At ornamental plant sales points, the Vinh City People's Committee mobilized functional forces to remind people to strictly implement measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic, especially wearing masks when going out on the street or in public places. Photo: Lam Tung |
