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.

At Ms. Pham Thi Thuy's facility, a group of workers from Saigon specializes in arranging orchids on ceramic and porcelain vases; while a group of workers from the Tay ethnic group from Thanh Hoa specializes in arranging orchids on driftwood. Ms. Thuy shared: "Arranging orchids in vases requires flexibility, softness, and grace; arranging 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
