On Lac Long Quan Street (Tay Ho District, Hanoi), vendors sell a lot of wild pear flowers, attracting people in the capital to come and enjoy and shop.
Wild pear flowers are grown in many northern mountainous provinces such as: Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Ha Giang, Lang Son, Cao Bang, Bac Kan , Lang Son, Lao Cai...
The five-petal pear blossoms burst forth from the rough branches, creating a wild yet pure beauty.
Unlike other flowers, pear flowers bloom in batches, each batch lasting 10 to 15 days. If you buy branches with many buds, they can last from 1 to 2 months.
Many people took souvenir photos next to the pure white wild pear blossoms.
The price of each branch of wild pear flowers ranges from several hundred thousand dong to millions of dong, depending on the shape of the branch. The more moss and lichen on the branches, the higher the price.
According to traders, this year the price of pear flowers in the capital has cooled down about 30% compared to previous years.
Most pear trees sold in the capital are usually cut from a part of the trunk to suit the height and area of the house.
Ms. Trinh and Ms. Dung (Ba Dinh district) were excited to buy pear blossom branches at a fairly cheap price, only 60,000 VND/branch. "Every year I buy pear blossoms to enjoy after Tet. I usually choose to buy 3 small branches to arrange together," Ms. Dung shared.
The merchant offers a cluster of 5 small pear blossom branches for 200,000 VND.
A flower player chose a satisfactory wild pear branch to display in his house after Tet for 600,000 VND.
With its pure white color, pear blossoms bring a different atmosphere to decorate the streets of Hanoi after Tet.
