Choosing narcissus to decorate house welcoming the Lunar New Year is an elegant hobby, but very picky, Thuy noted. Notably, narcissus must be soaked in fresh water to bloom beautiful white flowers.
Besides, the special beauty of narcissus comes from flowers, fragrant, leaves, tubers and roots. Therefore, every year, she always comes to the Buoi market to buy the narcissus for decorating her house during the Tet festival.
Currently, there are more people choosing narcissus to decorate their houses during Tet festival as Mrs.Thuy.

When Spring comes, Hanoians are eagerly to find a peach tree to take home for welcoming New Year. And talking to peach flowers, people always remind Nhat Tan peach or That Thon peach, which is rare and precious, the oldest in the region.
Mr. Ham is the first person in Nhat Tan to figure out how to squeeze That Thon peach for right hatching in Lunar New Year, because this kind of peach hatches in the first Lunar month. That is also the reason why few people like to look after and play That Thon peach.
