| These days, flower shops are busy with flower arrangements and fresh flower decorations to serve the market. Many shops have to mobilize more workers to meet the demand of customers who buy directly as well as order online. Ms. Nguyen Van Anh, owner of a flower shop in Vinh City, shared: "Compared to previous years, the purchasing power of flowers this year is higher. Since the beginning of the month, some customers have placed orders. In the past few days, the staff at the shop have been working non-stop because the number of orders has increased 4-5 times compared to normal days, mainly from units, schools, and there are fewer retail customers."
