At this time, many Phalaenopsis orchid businesses in Nghe An have started the Tet season. Shop owners have to hire workers from other provinces to arrange orchids. Working all night, orchid arrangers earn hundreds of millions of dong during the Tet month.

To serve customers during the Lunar New Year, since the beginning of December, orchid businesses have imported all kinds of phalaenopsis orchids, mainly Da Lat orchids. Photo: Thanh Phuc

According to records, the price of orchids this year has not increased much compared to last year, from 200,000 VND to 2 million VND/branch, depending on the type. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Therefore, I had to hire two groups of workers with 15 people to arrange the orchids. The vase arrangers were hired from Saigon, and the driftwood arrangers were hired from the Tay ethnic group in Thanh Hoa. Each region has its own style, creating works with its own unique personal mark... Photo: Thanh Phuc

Thanh Phúc — Orchid arrangers require high artistic thinking, creativity, and meticulousness, because each orchid product is like a work of art, bearing a strong personal mark but still having to be in harmony with the preferences and tastes of customers. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Ms. Thuy shared: "Making orchid vases requires flexibility, softness, and grace; making orchids on driftwood requires the orchid's shape to have the spirit of the mountains and forests. Workers from each region have their own distinct style." Photo: Thanh Phuc

Currently, many agencies, units and individual customers have ordered orchids as gifts and for Tet decoration, so orchid arrangers have started to get busy. They have to work through the night to meet customers' needs. Photo: Thanh Phuc
