There is basically no retail industry, mainly relying on wedding flowers for profit. In other words, people have little demand for flowers in their daily life. (Except for Valentine's Day and other activities) How many people in China will buy a bunch of gladiolus at a nearby flower shop and leave it at home after work? When visiting a friend's house, do you choose to hold a bunch of gerbera or a bag of fruit? This is also the current situation of the flower market in China. Don't say how advanced the auction technology of Dounan Flower Market is and how big the trading market is. Just look at how many people around you take buying flowers as their daily activities, and you will know what the current situation of the fresh cut flower market in China is. I'm in Holland now, and I'll make some comparisons. Most cities in the Netherlands have open-air markets, two or three times a week. At that time, there will be many vendors selling flowers, cut flowers and potted plants. What I have seen is that there are many customers and sellers are often too busy. Each booth has a large number of fresh cut flowers (mainly gladiolus, rose, gerbera, sunflower and hydrangea). People here are used to buying flowers, just like buying fruits and vegetables. Interestingly, the open-air market is always better than ordinary flower shops in terms of sales and types of fresh cut flowers. Generally, the business of flower shops is also quite good, where it is common for people to buy a bunch of sunflowers from the supermarket. It is common for a single-family house to have its own small garden. If you live in an apartment house, you should also plant flowers on the balcony.

I just updated some photos of flowers trading in the open market now, but I feel so silly. . I didn't go until five o'clock, only to find that the booth was almost closed (but the price was super cheap, only 5 euros for a large bunch of flowers), and the only photo I took was still empty. Now the picture above is in a supermarket. Basically, supermarkets of a certain scale here will have such stalls to sell flowers. If you look at the varieties, chrysanthemums and roses are the majority. There are many sunflowers this season. I thought it was van Gogh's sunflower. It turned out that it was just the season. If you hold a big bunch of sunflowers in a rainy place like Holland all the year round, you will feel much warmer.
