It has incredibly become a strong boost to the sale of products such as flower bouquets in recent months.

Although both flower growers, florists and relevant industrial peers have suffered a strong shock from February to April, the new changes and demands of flower service are questioning and challenging them to search out new ways of the development of the horticultural industry.
