On October 20, women like wildflowers, men prefer roses.
If women like to buy wildflowers because of their natural, simple beauty, men still choose roses because they are a symbol of love.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Van, an employee of an imported flower shop chain in Ho Chi Minh City, said that on the occasion of October 20 this year, wild flowers tend to "reign". Her company has imported many wild flowers from the Netherlands, priced from a few tens to a few hundred thousand VND/branch. Because they are new, these types of flowers are bought a lot by customers, and some regular customers even pre-ordered them before they arrived. Photo: Red hot poker.
The advantage of these imported wildflowers is their high durability. If well cared for and preserved, they can be displayed for a whole month. The flowers have many unique colors, are easy to arrange, and can be used as a background for other flowers, or arranged separately, all of which are beautiful. Tana chrysanthemums (pictured) are as gentle as daisies but have many times more durability. They are one of the typical examples of wildflowers in her shop.
Florists advise that when placing herbaceous wildflowers in water, you should cut the stem across. Photo: Veronica flowers come in many colors, including purple, pink, and white.
With woody wildflowers, when arranging them, cut the stems diagonally to absorb water better. Photo: Snowberry (symphoricarpos), white and pink like pearls, can be displayed for a whole month.
While male customers still prefer roses, women prefer to buy wildflowers. Mr. Luong Bac Bien, manager of a flower shop in District 1, said that 60% of customers who buy wildflowers at his shop are women because they like nature. Most men still choose roses, partly because roses have brighter colors, and more importantly, because of their symbolic meaning of love.
Wildflower bouquets imported from abroad cost 2-4 million VND.
However, many gentlemen like to combine roses and wildflowers to give to their wives. This vase costs about 8 million VND.
A vase of wild flowers including cabiosa, Dutch star flowers, and dahlias, priced at nearly 10 million, was ordered by a customer on October 16 as a gift for his boss.
In particular, imported wild flower vases combined with cymbidium orchids cost up to 60 million/vase.
Eucomis Autumnalis (Pineapple Lily) flower belongs to the asparagus family and is over 1m tall.
