Coming to Lac An advanced new-style rural commune in North Tan Uyen district, we realize that people's lives have changed and developed. The people here have bravely developed the economy with models on animal husbandry, cultivation, trade and services, contributing to raising their income.
We have just had the opportunity to learn about the ornamental flower growing model of Bui Ha Duy Quang's family living in hamlet 2. Quang's garden at this moment has lots of various flowers like apricot blossom, frangipani, “bong trang” “lộc vừng” (scientifically called as barringtonia acutangula, ixora coccinea) and plenty of orchids. Taking us to a separate orchid garden, he confided: "Playing ornamental flowers and orchids in particular must really like to see their value. My family grows flowers to mainly serve the local people, especially during Tet. Orchids here are grown in small and large pots with the selling price of between VND50,000 and VND 60,000 per pot for common orchids. There are also orchid pots worth several hundred thousands of dong to several millions of dong per pot. The Tet holiday is approaching. My family brings people flower pots at a price that is suitable for people's income", said Quang.
