This tradition is still now carried forward everywhere in the DPRK.

Seen in streets and at house windows of Pyongyang are people cultivating flowers.

Every Sunday, flower lovers in the city have exchanged their experiences and flower seeds with each other, while planting flowers at flower gardens.

Kim Yong Suk's family residing in Central District is known as a flower home. It has cultivated more than 100 potted flowers. She told KCNA: When the flowers begin to bloom, I am unable to contain my joy. Flower is the fragrance of life and the course of growing each flower and tree is that of cultivating patriotism, I think. I will strive to implant the spirit of loving flowers in the minds of my children.

Meanwhile, institutions at all levels and industrial establishments have built greenhouses to cultivate various species of flowers, contributing to adding beauty to the scenery of the city and the surroundings.
