Today is the "Western Valentine's Day" on February 14, and tomorrow is the "Chinese Valentine's Day" Lantern Festival. It should be an auspicious day for couples and spouses, and it is also a big business opportunity for flower farmers. The peak of the epidemic has become a low tide for flower shops in disguise.
The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" visited the Prince's Flower Market this morning, and saw that the present is not what it used to be, and the flow of people is sparse.
Some flower shop staff pointed out that this year's orders were not as good as before, sighing: "Orders are 10% to 20% in previous years! And there are no people at home, all of them don't go out of the street, can you order?"
Ms. Huang, the person in charge of one of the flower shops, was burying her head in dressing up the bouquet in the early morning, but in fact her business was far less busy than it seemed.
She pointed out that in previous years there were already 300 to 400 orders this year, but this year it was only 10 to 20% of the previous year's price, and the price was half that of previous years. Hey, all of you don't go out of the street, can you order them?" She pointed out that the flowers came from Kenya and Ecuador and other places, and transportation was also affected by the epidemic. What a piece of stuff, sometimes I don’t even have to make up for it!”
The female employee of another flower shop mentioned the business this year, but also reluctantly said: "I don't know ‥‥‥The stalk is (influenced), everyone is not out of the street‥‥‥" She pointed out that the flower shop was open all night in previous years The order received this year has changed beyond recognition. The most expensive 99 roses in her store are priced at about 5,000 yuan, which is similar to previous years, but she pointed out that the goods are more expensive this year.

In the past, on Valentine's Day, most of the flower market shops were open all night to take orders, but this morning, only about 10 stalls were open for business. About 10 people, only 2 people bought it, the scene was deserted.
One of the "good husbands" Mr. Wang ordered a bouquet of roses worth about 880 yuan early in the morning to surprise his wife. When he was working nearby this morning, he stopped by the flower market to pick up flowers.
Wang Zhi said that the price this year is the same as before, hoping that "everyone will be healthy!"
