Last updated: 2020-01-18 09:00Before the Lunar New Year, the flower market in Mong Kok was always crowded, and the annual flowers bloomed brilliantly, and the public's interest in buying flowers remained unaffected. A flower shop said that the overall flower price this year is expected to increase by at least 15% compared to last year, and also said that orders have been received earlier in the year, and sales have not been affected by social events. Some citizens also spend thousands of yuan to buy phalaenopsis this year, and watch it at home. They also feel that it will cost a little more this year.
Anti-revision storms have spawned the "yellow-blue economic circle", which spans all walks of life, and even buys annual flowers on the Internet and circulates yellow-blue lists. There are also a lot of florist shops accused of being "yellow shops". The clerk said that the business has increased sharply or was targeted after not being labeled. Sighs: "I only want social harmony, customers appreciate professional shops, and I do n’t want to Society is yellow and blue because we are all Hong Kong people. "

The flower shop that had sent flowers privately and was included in the list of yellow shops was nearly “order-to-order” during the reporter ’s visit. The shop clerk, Ms. Huang (pseudonym), laughed and said that she had not benefited significantly from the label. Political opinions and business choices, service attitude is as usual. " When color is a consideration before consumption, Huang does not want to divide it because "we are all Hong Kong people."
Dutch lilies, Italian peach flowers, Japanese cherry blossoms, Japanese Dali flowers are very popular
This flower shop specializes in foreign annual flowers. Dutch lilies, Italian peach flowers, Japanese cherry blossoms, and Japanese Dali flowers are popular among customers. Take the Italian peach blossom as an example. The price of the yellow finger is similar to that of the Chinese peach blossom, but the branches are straight and do not have too many branches. They can be placed in juvenile flower bottles, even for snail houses. Even if Hong Kong has just experienced a warm winter, these imported annual flowers will not bloom early. "Foreign weather is stable, it will not suddenly warm, and the flowering period is easier to control."

Annual flower price rises 15%
The business volume of the business community has dropped in recent months, and Ms. Huang is optimistic about the business this year. She said that she has received annual flower orders since the end of last year, such as Phalaenopsis and Dutch Lily. Come to Huaxu with an ornamental mindset, don't worry about being robbed of business by the Lunar New Year's Eve.
The price of annual flowers has also risen since this week. She said that due to the cost of freight and labor, the overall price has increased by 15% compared to last year. She described it as a normal increase and also affected the exchange rate.
Orders for graduation flowers and wedding balls fell once
However, she acknowledged that the business volume in July-September last year dropped by 20% compared with the same period of the previous year. Orders for graduation flowers and wedding balls were significantly reduced. However, she believed that mainly due to traffic problems, she also believed that the flower industry would not die. If you are unhappy, you will buy flowers, and the overall impact will be small. "
Another flower shop owner focuses on local phalaenopsis orchids. I believe that orchids that have not been transported in cardboard boxes are not worried about being "scratched" or "crushed". Some people still know how to appreciate "Hong Kong flowers". The owner thinks that the citizens will buy the annual flowers early this year, and it is estimated that they will worry about another demonstration in the recent New Year, and it is difficult to predict the market this year.

Citizens spend thousands of yuan on annual flowers without considering yellow and blue
The citizen Mr. Huang is expected to spend 1,000 yuan to buy Phalaenopsis this year. He believes that the Chinese New Year's Lantern Festival only has "purchased, affordable, short flowering" flowers. On the contrary, the flower market has more varieties of flowers, but the price is more expensive than in previous years. When it comes to money, you will earn money near the New Year. "
As for whether flowers will be patronized at Huangdian, Mr. Huang said that he had no relevant considerations, and said with a smile that he worked in a Chinese-funded institution, but "the company's colleagues are all" yellow ", and Huangdian is also a gift for the New Year; in the past, TVB artists were used as advertising spokespersons , This year is gone. "
The citizen Ms. Li also planned to spend hundreds of yuan on orchids or peach blossoms a few years ago, "without special consideration of yellow and blue, I bought it when I saw it." She also believes that this year's flower market is similar to previous years.
