Some peach flowers in the field are in full bloom, and the pink petals are very popular. Many peach gardens in the 10,000-foot garden are already famous , Has been selected half a year ago.

Large institutions choose flowers in the flower field as early as half a year

On the day of the reporter's visit, a staff member of the property management office of an old luxury residential estate in Hong Kong went to the flower field to collect flowers. He said that because the housing estate he served did not flood the wealthy family, and the annual flowers in the lobby of the building were quite high. On request, he had visited the flower field half a year ago and had selected 7 peach flowers, one of which was 14 feet high, which was enough in the lobby. The staff member said that every year, he would go to the flower field early to choose flowers to ensure that the best peach blossoms were selected.

Although some pretty flowers have already been voted for, but affected by social events in Hong Kong in the past six months, the owner of the flower field, Guo Caitian, estimates that this year's business will be 20% less than in previous years. However, the boss said that he would not deliberately reduce or increase prices because the peach blossoms grew from seedlings to grow and blossom During the planting process, it is the efforts of farmers. Peach blossoms of different sizes in the field sell for thousands of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Guests can choose the flowers first at the scene. The flower farmers saw the peach blossoms on the spot and handle them carefully. .

Warm weather has little effect on peach blossoms

The reporter saw at the venue that the flower farmers would quickly remove the withered peach blossoms and leaves from each peach tree, so as not to divide them into thin nutrients and allow new flower stamens to bloom. Since the end of last year, the weather in Hong Kong has warmed up. The boss said that warm weather had little effect on peach blossoms. When the weather is warm, peach blossoms will bloom more brilliantly, but the periodicity of the flowers will be faster and cannot be maintained for a long time. As long as the water is properly controlled in warm weather, peach blossoms can still bloom until the first month.

Relative to warm weather, as a flower farmer, boss Guo is more afraid of cold weather, because peach blossoms will freeze to death. The flower farmers who depend on the weather, love the normal winter, and the flowers grow best. For peach blossoms, in normal weather of 17 to 20 degrees, peach blossoms have the best color and flowering period.
