| This year, flower varieties are not as abundant as previous years due to the impact of rainy and flood weather. Ms. Ho Thi Huong - a household specializing in supplying flower varieties to people said that this year she took more than 200,000 yellow chrysanthemums from Nam Dinh to distribute to people, each chrysanthemum stem costs 400 - 500 VND/stem. The flower varieties brought back were not much so people competed to buy them, so the price of flowers this year is higher than previous years. Photo: Viet Hung |
