Shenyang, February 16 (Reporter Xie Qing) During the Spring Festival holiday, many citizens choose to buy flowers to put at home and decorate New Year's decorations. With the arrival of seasonal flowers such as tulips, roses, and phalaenopsis, not only the habit of buying flowers has continued in the south, but flowers have gradually become a popular New Year's item for northern residents.
The first batch of flowers purchased before the Spring Festival has gradually withered, and the future network "New Year Grassroots" reporting team recently visited a number of flower markets in Shenyang City and found that in order to maintain the continuous blooming of New Year's flowers at home, many citizens have recently come to the flower market to buy fresh bouquets to replace the first batch of New Year's flowers, keep the flowers at home continuous, and the New Year's flowers are also decorating more and more "ordinary people's homes".

Because of its ornamental value and beautiful meaning, New Year's flowers are gradually becoming an important element in the festival atmosphere. However, due to the influence of production and climate, the market time of the New Year's Festival flowers coincides with the lowest temperature in the northern winter, and storage and transportation have become difficult.
Merchants in the Zhongshan Flower Market in Shenyang City told the "New Year Grassroots" reporting team of Future.com that the current New Year flowers represented by Phalaenopsis, Cymbidis grandiflora and Alpine Rhododendron are gradually becoming popular New Year's goods for residents in northern China, and their sales are good during the Spring Festival.
Our flowers are all flown from Yunnan, so we can ensure that the flowers do not lose temperature and do not wither. A merchant owner said that the high number of flowers in the northern region mainly involves the increase in transportation costs, in addition to the increase in labor costs during the Spring Festival.

With the upgrading of consumption level and the promotion of plant cultivation technology, a variety of flowers have become popular styles of New Year's flowers. A shopkeeper told the reporting team that red flower varieties are the most popular during the Spring Festival. The red New Year's flowers have a strong "New Year's flavor" and are one of the options for many citizens to decorate their rooms and light up their homes during festivals.
During this year's Spring Festival, it coincides with Valentine's Day on February 14, which also ushered in the peak of flower sales. The reporting team learned in the flower market that the sales of red roses have increased recently, mainly in various packaged bouquets.
