Orchid enthusiasts in Tran Van Thoi district call Le Nha Lam "the king of orchids", as if to refer to his inspiration for local orchid enthusiasts.
Mr. Lam said that at first he planted orchids in 2017 with the sole intention of enjoying their beauty to relax his mind after tiring working days.
"But when I felt the majestic, regal beauty of this flower, I fell in love without realizing it," Lam shared.
Mr. Le Nha Lam, residing in Tran Van Thoi town, Tran Van Thoi district, Ca Mau province, said that starting from the idea of growing a few pots of orchids to relax when tired, after more than 8 years, he developed his orchid garden with hundreds of pots, and then became passionate about it without realizing it.

Currently, Mr. Lam's orchid garden has more than 300 pots with all kinds of orchids such as sunny denro, tip denro, colored denro; Mr. Lam's wild orchids include Dendrobium, Spring Welcome, Sword, Orange Fire Orchid...
With many years of growing and experience in the profession, Mr. Lam said that orchids are known as the queen of flowers because of their majestic and regal beauty. Because of their beauty, which is difficult for any other flower to compare to, caring for them also requires the grower to have a thorough understanding of them.

"Recently, due to the large number of orchids, I have been propagating and selling them on social networking platforms to earn extra income," said Mr. Lam, adding that he sells each orchid pot for 500,000 - 1,200,000 VND/pot.
Mr. Lam and orchid players said that the standard for having a beautiful orchid is that the player must take good care of the roots because they are like the soul of the plant. Only healthy roots can absorb nutrients to nourish the plant and produce many, sturdy flower buds.
"When talking about orchids, hobbyists also have to talk about the rarity of the plant. In a million plants, only one has beautiful, unique, and hard-to-find flowers. Therefore, the price will be very high and worth hunting for," added Mr. Lam.

Sharing the same passion as Mr. Lam, Mr. Tran Phuong Vu, who lives in the same area, has invested in his orchid garden for the past 2 years.
"After work, I take care of orchids. During Tet, I choose pots with fragrant, beautiful flowers to display in the house. This flower does not require a large area, so even small families can enjoy it," said Mr. Vu.
With different colors, the meaning of each type of orchid is also different, such as: White orchids symbolize respect and humility.
Purple orchids represent royalty, pink orchids mean charm, grace, yellow phalaenopsis orchids symbolize a good start, success...
Mr. Lam and many of his colleagues affirm that, nowadays, orchids are increasingly being chosen and cared for by hobbyists during Tet, because they symbolize reunion and prosperity in the first days of the year.
