The potted flowers ranging from daisies to marigolds and to lien (Torenia fournieri) among others that you see in the photo are in the flower market section of the Cai Be Floating Market in Cai Be District in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang. Cai Be holds the top position in orchard areas in Tien Giang Province. On ordinary days, a large section of the Tien River is vibrant with boats filled with fruits, vegetables, flowers and other products. It is even more colorful during special events like full moon days or Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year). During the days, there is only a small number of boats carrying flowers on the Tien River. However the number increases over the following days and the market bustles with various kinds of flowers. At this time, barges full of fruits and vegetables temporarily cede "territory" to boats carrying different kinds of flowers. Flowers are seen along the banks of the river, bobbing on the floating dock, covering the boat roof-tops and overflowing to the street markets. Going to the floating market on these days, you can see the busy rhythm of the life of people living on the river and the unique features of the Mekong Delta. This is also the most beautiful time at the Cai Be Floating Market, attracting many tourists. There is always a forest of flowers and people during market- days. The river becomes busy with boats carrying people, including buyers, sellers and visitors. The bright colors of the apricot flowers, daisies, roses and marigolds swinging on boats and junks bring a premature spring to the riverside hamlets and people.

Very early every morning, or perhaps very late at night, the traders work loading and unloading their boats with fresh produce to trade wholesale at the floating market. This is an attractive sight for tourists, yet not a ‘tourist trap’ , it is a real working market, not a show – vendors display fruit hanging from poles at the bow of their wooden boats, displaying what produce they sell, bananas, coconuts, water melons, pomelo, etc. There are even small hand-rowed boats featuring mobile cafes, coffee and soft drinks bottles displayed on little ‘bars’ in the form of a box in front of the lady rowing the boat across the river in a standing position.
