“A few days ago, as the weather suddenly turned unfavorable with repeated unseasonal rains, I was also concerned that the flowers might bloom early and die.

“The weather has fortunately improved over the past few days. I hope my business will go smoothly,” Vinh, a merchant of a flower stall at Le Van Tam Park, shared.

As a tradition, a flower festival will be held at Tao Dan Park in District 1 starting January 16, showcasing thousands of unique flowers and decorative plants.

In District 8, Binh Dong Wharf is a go-to place for people seeking flowers for the Tet holiday, with hundreds of flower varieties brought from the Mekong Delta.
