    Nestled by the gentle Cai Lach River, Phu Son paper flower village (Cho Lach commune, Vinh Long province) these days is like a giant oil painting. The velvet red, firecracker pink, Hue purple, orange-yellow colors... blend together, dyeing the whole countryside.

    The paper flower growing profession has existed for more than 20 years, being a source of livelihood for more than 100 households in Cho Lach. However, only about 5 years ago, when transportation infrastructure and roads were completed, the name Phu Son became the most bustling paper flower gathering point in the Mekong Delta.

    Stepping into the flower village, visitors can easily see the scene of farmers busily taking care of each ornamental plant. Not only preserving traditional crafts, Phu Son people are also master artisans in modern grafting techniques.

    Here, paper flower products are extremely diverse, from small bonsai pots with a lifespan of 2-3 years to elaborately bent ancient trees. With a popular price of only 80,000 to 150,000 VND, visitors can easily own a brilliant pot of flowers to welcome Tet.

    Thanks to the wide open market, each season Phu Son village supplies tens of thousands of flower pots throughout the country, of which Ho Chi Minh City is the main consumption market.

    According to long-time gardeners, bougainvillea is favored for its excellent drought and salinity resistance. The flowers are thick, last long, and carry the meaning of peace and luxury but are extremely strong, symbolizing the simple and resilient personality of local people.
