Despite the gloomy weather, an abundance of colourful flowers, here to welcome the new year, could be seen in the streets of Danang.
The flower markets were opened on January 29. They can be found on many streets, such as Ham Nghi, Nguyen Huu Tho, Nguyen Ven Linh and Square No. 29/3.
Like pretty much all prices this year, the cost of flowers has increased between 30% and 40%.
One flower seller, Nguyen Van Quang, said, “A peach branch costs about VND900,000 (USD45), which is much more expensive than last year.
The demand is still high though. On a normal day I sell 10 peach branches.” Tran Duc Vinh, a member of the Hoa Cuong Association of Gardeners in Danang, said, “My friends and I share our knowledge of gardening. So my flowers usually bloom on schedule.” He added that, “People seem to prefer apricot trees, which are priced anywhere from VND5 million to VND10 million (USD250-USD500) each.”
Among the other favourites are yellow daisies. This type of flower is grown in the villages of Hoa Cuong and Cam Le, around Danang. A pot of yellow daisies would cost between VND200,000 and VND300,000 (USD10-USD15).
