The ‘cuc hoa mi’ (pure-white daisies) garden in the campus of the Biotechnology Centre under the Da Nang Department of Science and Technolog has become a new favourite haunt of local residents and tourists.

Pure-white daisies are grown a lot in the capital city of Ha Noi, and Lam Dong Province’s Da Lat City. In recent years, when the demand for photography has increased, this unique kind of flowers has been grown in some Vietnamese localities.
Since 2019, the Biotechnology Centre has piloted to grow this beautiful flower type right in its campus with a combined total of 10,000 trees.

| The daisies are scientifically named Matricaria Chamomilla, belonging to the Asteraceae family. In Viet Nam, this type of flowers is grown in such localities with cold weather as Ha Noi and Da Lat. People have long viewed the blossoming daisies as a yearly marker that the cold season is just around the corner in these localities. However, when being successfully grown in Da Nang, this type of flower still blooms evenly and beautifully in the spring. |
 |
| The Biotechnology Centre plans to transfer technology of daisy cultivation to local farmers in a bid to expand such a flower growing model in the city. |
 |
| Deputy Director of the Biotechnology Centre Dang Ngoc Minh remarked his centre has successfully planted daisies in the early spring season from tissue culture with the purpose of creating a newly inviting destination for local residents and tourists. |
 |
| Pure-white daisies have been successfully planted on a trial basis in Da Nang over the past 2 years, thereby significantly contributing to creating a new inviting place in an effort to increase visitor numbers in the city. |
