Jessica Chu helps her mother arrange forsythias and quince flowers in large buckets for shoppers to pick from at Little Saigon's Flower Festival ahead of Lunar New Year. Her mother's prized 'Mickey Mouse Plant,' grown in her garden, takes center stage in their flower display. Named after Disney's famous mouse because of how the black fruits sit amidst the red sepals, the tropical plant, known scientifically as 'ochna integerrima,' is popular in Vietnamese households for Lunar New Year celebrations because it blooms yellow flowers.
