Pretty nice. what is that yellow blooms bonsai that looks like a branch sitting on a pot?
how much they go for? orchids price ranges? what are the most popular? great!
thank you so much for posting the lovely photos! i really enjoyed looking at the bonsai and the orchids! there are so many of them! what sells the most? the phals? i guess people there really like to have flowers in thier home, unlike the majority of people here.....

Yellow flowers you see its name as "hoa mai" is the typical flowers of southern Vietnam
price of the tree "hoa mai" from a few hundred thousand to several tens of millions (USD). But I think if you will buy about $ 500 a tree "hoa mai" very nice bonsai , also bought a tree "hoa mai" normal cost only about 10 USD

Note: the tree "hoa mai" only sold on the day before the ceremony "Tet" Vietnam's traditional, and "hoa mai" only bloom once a year on holidays, this flower show Features of southern Vietnam,in northern Vietnam is a "hoa đào"

cost of phalaenopsis from 120 000 VND upward

yeah you can carry all the currency you want but if you buy any of these at the market you can't really take them back with you to the USA. those sellers might wonder why there is no good business with the people from the United States...
