New Year's flowers are still popular
On the afternoon of January 27, as soon as the reporter walked into the splendid Shenglong Flower Market in Fuxing District, the refreshing fragrance of flowers came to his nose. As far as the eye can see, colorful phalaenopsis, holly with red fruits, and graceful and luxurious large-flowered orchids and other colorful flowers make this place full of strong New Year's flavor.
It was a weekend, and there was an endless stream of citizens who came to buy flowers. Walking among them, the reporter found that many merchants in the market have placed New Year's flowers in the obvious position of the stalls and loaded them in large quantities. A variety of delicate flowers are paired with pots with elements or words of the Year of the Dragon, which looks particularly festive.
"It's been blooming for several months, but it's blooming just right during the Chinese New Year. "This flower is easy to feed, you don't need to water it more when you go back, you just need to water it once a week." "This flower is called Hydrangea ......"
At the stall at the entrance of the market, the proprietor, Ms. Zhao, and her husband are busy introducing customers to the names, prices and maintenance methods of the flowers.
"As soon as the lunar month arrives, the number of customers who come to buy New Year's flowers increases, so we have been increasing the amount of purchases since New Year's Day, and now there are sixty or seventy varieties of flowers in the store. Ms. Zhao introduced that in addition to young people's pursuit of freshness and love to buy stars and tulips, the traditional New Year's flowers Phalaenopsis and Fortune are still the favorites of most citizens.
"The best sellers are still those New Year's flowers. Ms. Zhao introduced the elegant large-flowered orchid, the beautiful phalaenopsis, and the colorful hydrangea...... These are the "signs" of the store, in addition to the gorgeous flowers, what attracts the public more is their beautiful meaning.
Phalaenopsis, a symbol of happiness, has always been the darling of the New Year's flower market with its elegant temperament. "Every time this happens, I buy a few pots of Chinese New Year flowers. My wife asked for two pots of phalaenopsis this year, she felt elegant and atmospheric, and the meaning was also very beautiful, and now she bought it back to raise it for a few days, and the flowers bloomed during the Spring Festival, adding a little New Year's flavor to the family. Gao Qingsong, a citizen who lives in the green forest maple community, said.
On the other side, Mr. Zhao, a citizen who came to buy flowers, fell in love with a pot of longevity flowers. "This flower has a high appearance, looking at the red color is festive, the most important thing is to listen to this name, I feel in a good mood, buy flowers is not just a festive, auspicious!" Mr. Zhao scanned the code to pay happily and said happily.
For the sake of auspiciousness and dress-up, pots of flowers ushered in a new owner in this lively flower market.
Creative greenery is sought after
In the East Street Flower Market, the reporter noticed that in addition to the hot sales of New Year's Eve flowers, the four seasons of green plants such as the Happiness Tree and the Dracaena Tree are also favored by the public because of their characteristics such as being easy to feed and living, and can also purify indoor air.
"Three pots of big green plants are 500 yuan, and they look very high-grade in the living room. Li Huiru, a citizen who has just moved into a new house, said that green plants are easier to take care of than New Year's flowers, and watering them once a week is more suitable for office workers who have little experience in raising flowers.
"These plants are easy to maintain, and the name also meets the needs of everyone Tujili, and with the Spring Festival approaching, they are selling very well. The owner, Ms. Wu, picked up the conversation while packing. She introduced that in order to cater to the New Year's atmosphere, their merchants have also worked matching. "According to the shape of different green plants, we match different ornaments such as small red envelopes, red lanterns, Chinese knots, etc., so that each pot is unique, so that the number of orders has really increased a lot. ”
Merchants are ingenious, and what they value is that the New Year's flower market is hot year by year. In recent years, many young people have joined the flower buying team. From white-collar youths to school students, the consumer groups in the New Year's flower market are getting younger and younger, and their eyes are focused on some small potted plants and succulents with color jumps and Spring Festival elements.
"This very drought-tolerant plant, with its cute shape and 'lazy' characteristics that don't require special care, has sold well during the Spring Festival in the past two years. Mr. Li, the owner of a succulent stall, said, "This year, we have launched a combination of succulents and some landscape ornaments, or add some dolls, rattan and other ornaments under the flowers. This kind of small and fresh shape is quite popular among young people. ”
During the reporter's interview, many citizens stopped in front of the succulent stall with their children. "Rabbit-style flower pots, succulent flowers of various colors are staggered in them, cute, how cute. Ms. Zhang, a citizen, happily showed the reporter the "results" she had harvested that day.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are more and more young people in the flower market, for them, buying flowers is not only an embellishment of the "sense of ceremony" for the New Year, but also contains a beautiful expectation for the New Year.
Online flower shopping is very popular
In addition, with the advancement of technology and the development of the Internet, the sales methods of Chinese New Year flowers are becoming more and more diversified. In addition to the traditional flower market, many consumers also choose to buy their favorite flowers through online platforms, which is convenient and fast.
Liu Li, a citizen who lives in Congtai District, is one of them. In the past, although Liu Li loved flowers, she rarely bought them because of the high price. "I usually don't want to buy it, but I always have to change flowers at home during the New Year, so I have a sense of ceremony. She admitted that a few years ago, when the Spring Festival was approaching, she had bought a few lilies in a flower shop, and also matched some other flowers, spending a total of more than 100 yuan.
"As soon as the holidays are over, the price of flowers will rise, which is a bit painful for a working class like me, but in the past two years I have found a way to save money. Liu Li happily told reporters that through Douyin live broadcast, Meituan group buying, and Pinduoduo platforms, the cost of buying flowers for the New Year has been reduced, but compared with before, the expenditure on flowers is more generous. "I now have five vases at home, and all of them have been replaced with new flowers in the past two days, making it easy to achieve flower freedom. ”
Nowadays, opening the major online shopping platforms, all kinds of green plants and flowers such as rhododendrons with different postures, colorful phalaenopsis, and emerald birds of paradise are vibrant, and netizens can buy the latest New Year's flowers from Tiannan and Haibei with one click. In addition to the sea of flowers, the flavor of the New Year also floats out of the "blessing bucket" of New Year's flowers.
"There are a lot of artificial flowers in the 'Blessing Bucket', compared with potted plants and fresh-cut bouquets, they don't need to be particularly careful, and they are easy to maintain and auspicious. Mr. Guo, a citizen, has been buying blessing buckets from the Internet for two consecutive years to add joy to his family. "I think buying Chinese New Year flowers is not only to decorate the surrounding environment, but also to pray and bless. I hope that the new year will be smooth, happy and healthy. ”
