- 130,000 overseas Vietnamese to return home for Tet holiday
- Vietnam's labor ministry asks companies to disclose Tet holiday bonus payouts
Peach blossoms for sale at a flower market in Tay Ho District, Hanoi. |
The flowers are a popular house decoration for Tet, the Lunar New Year holiday which starts on January 28, and these puffy pink blossoms normally show up on the streets in mid-January. |
Lien (R), a peach tree farmer, shows off her trees to a customer. |
A woman packs a blossoming tree from her garden for a buyer. |
A perfect peach blossom. Farmers said they usually start plucking leaves a month and a half before Tet so the nutrition taken into the trees is focused on forming buds, but some trees have gone against the plan due to the warm weather. |
The early flowers have been selling well, with prices starting from just several bucks. |
A whole tree costs VND500,000 ($22). |
But this woman only had to pay VND70,000, or around $3, for this beautiful branch. |
