Hundreds of species of flowers such as colorful daisies, cherry blossoms, roses, orchids and sunflowers are on sale. |
These flowers are brought from gardeners in neighboring areas such as Tay Tuu, Dong Anh, Me Linh District of Hanoi suburb or from China. |
According to Nguyen Thi Thuy, a seller at Quang Ba flower market, roses are the most popular this year. |
Rose bouquets are eye-catchingly decorated, even equipped with LED lights. |
The price of flowers is also two to three times higher than normal, around VND10,000 or around US$0.5 per rose and VND300,000 or $15 per bunch. |
However, due to the economic decline, purchasing power is also lower than the anniversary before. |
Quang Ba night flower market usually opens at 8 o’clock in the evening and closes at dawn the next day. |
Many young people not only come to the market to buy flowers, but also to admire these wonderful tiny creations, relax and take beautiful photos. |
