Before Tết, we buy peach blossoms in the north or yellow apricot flowers in the south.
The flower markets are busy and colorful.
People believe these flowers bring good luck and new beginnings.
We also use kumquat trees.
They are small and full of fruit.
The kumquat tree means prosperity and abundance.
Decorating our homes with these plants shows we are ready for the new year.
It feels like starting fresh.
