To get the best wholesale price, many people from Ha Tinh have traveled all the way to Nghi Lien gardens to buy flowers. They mainly import colored and yellow chrysanthemums to sell. According to Ms. Vo Thi Thuy (Duc Dung, Duc Tho, Ha Tinh), every Tet season, she usually imports more than 3,000 chrysanthemums of all kinds to sell. Because the demand for chrysanthemums for worship and for placing in vases on the table increases during Tet, retail is also easy, usually by the afternoon of the 30th of Tet, they are all sold out.

Retailers often travel to flower fields to buy. After deducting transportation and labor costs, retailers earn a profit of VND2,000 - VND3,000 per chrysanthemum. Photo: Tien Dong

In addition to chrysanthemums, which are often in high demand during Tet, gladiolus (also known as single flowers) are also chosen by many people. This year, gladiolus flowers bloom beautifully and right on time for Tet, making many flower growers excited. Ms. Van, Trung Lien hamlet, Nghi Lien (Vinh city), grows more than 3,000 gladiolus plants, and these days there are always people coming to buy wholesale. Photo: Tien Dong

Gladiolus is often planted by gardeners at the same time as chrysanthemum, that is, from the beginning of the 10th lunar month. After nearly 3 months of care, if it develops as planned, gladiolus is usually 1.2m tall. When harvesting, households often choose the tallest plants to pull first, while the shorter and unbloomed plants are harvested later. Photo: Tien Dong

Retailers often bring their carts to the garden to buy flowers. When customers come, the gardeners will pick the flowers, not pick them in advance, because if they leave them for too long, the flowers will wilt and lose their value. Photo: Tien Dong

Not only popular flowers, many lily growers have also started selling them. In addition to having them in pots for a long time, many lily growers in the fields also choose to prune 4-5 plants into 1 pot to sell to customers. The selling price of each lily pot with 5 plants in the garden is currently 250,000 VND. Photo: Tien Dong

Because the Tet flower harvest season usually only lasts about a week, from December 23 to the afternoon of the 30th of Tet, gardeners as well as flower retailers are busy, they work through the afternoon, and have almost no time to rest. Photo: Tien Dong
