Trang: Yes, we do. We usually visit Nhat Tan Village to buy kumquat trees and peach blossoms.
Elena: I see flowers and ornamental trees everywhere these days. What are they for?
Trang: We, Vietnamese, use plants and flowers for decorations and for offerings. They are an important part of our Tet tradition.
Elena: And what's that tall tree in the photo?
Trang: Well, it's actually a bamboo pole. People place it in the yard of the communal house. They hang decorative items like small bells and lanterns on it. They want to chase away bad luck and pray for a lucky new year.
