What interests Hanoians is that purely white pear blossoms come out of mossy and barren branches of the ten-year-old wild pear tree. |
 |
|
Pear blossoms are for sale mostly in Quang An flower market (Tay Ho District, Hanoi). |
 |
|
These fresh pear branches are brought from Sa Pa District (Lao Cai) or Loc Binh and Bac Son District (Lang Son). |
 |
| Although the Lunar New Year Festival has been over, but pear blossoms are still for sale along Hanoi streets, and many local people buy them every day. |
 |
|
According to pear blossom sellers in Quang An flower market, the number of pear blossom buyers increases year by year, which is why this blossom is still in high demand although it is very expensive. |
 |
|
A pear blossom branch costs from 500,000 VND to 5 million VND, depending on its age and shape. A nicely-shaped old-age pear blossom branch can be sold at tens of millions of VND. |
 |
| The pear blossom is not beautiful, but also can last longer than other flowers. |
