Ninh Hoa Town Farmers' Association impressed viewers with a garden of colorful orchids, including dendro, dendrobium anosmum, aloe-leafed cymbidium, and well-known rhynchostylis gigantea in Hon Heo Mountain, Ninh Hoa Town. 

Many visitors to the exhibition were interested in a fragrant calanthe ruben with unique shape of Minh Khai nursery (Nha Trang City). This orchid features a wine-bottle-shaped base and stems that grow high and bloom in clusters like fireworks. This type of orchid is not too expensive, but it is difficult to nurture them to flower. 
The artisans from Long An Province transported hundreds of bonsai trees of different sizes to Khanh Hoa Province’s first ornamental plant fair 2025 in order to promote their bonsai trees as well as exchange experience and learn more about bonsai techniques from artisans in Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa and other provinces participating in the fair.

According to Phan Minh Kinh, Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Ornamental Creature Association, in recent years, along with other localities nationwide, Khanh Hoa Province has seen a development of the practice of cultivating and nurturing flowers and ornamental plants. The association’s members and artisans in Khanh Hoa often organize meetings to exchange information about ornamental creatures; organize competitions and exhibitions of ornamental creature works such as orchid, bonsai, and red-whiskered bulbul.
