On February 14, the news that "99% of the Valentine's Day roses you received are fake" made it to the hot search list.
Every year on February 14, roses are snapped up at major florists and flower markets.
In fact, what is sold in the flower shop is not roses at all, but the moon season.
This news has aroused great attention and heated discussions on the whole network, especially among young people.
There is a big difference between roses and moon seasons.
Both roses and moons belong to the Rosaceae family, but they are different species.
Roses usually refer to wild or cultivated roses, while yueji refers to ornamental varieties that have been artificially crossed.
Morphologically, roses have comparatively smaller flowers and fewer layers of petals, while moon-season flowers are larger and more vibrant with more layers of petals.
The leaves of roses are wrinkled, while those of the moon are smoother.
So, why is 99% of the Valentine's Day roses you receive fake?
According to Lindashi, most of the Valentine's Day roses we receive are seasonal rather than real roses. This is due to the higher ornamental value and commercial value of the moon season, which is in line with people's expectations for romantic flowers.
This is because the ornamental value of the moon season is higher, the flowers are rich in color, beautiful in shape, and have a long growth cycle, which is suitable for use as fresh cut flowers.
In contrast, roses, although they also have beautiful flowers, have a short growth cycle and smaller flowers, making them less suitable as fresh-cut flowers.
Therefore, in the commercial flower market, the moon season has become the mainstream "rose".
It's worth noting that some merchants may dye the moon season to pass off as real roses.
Although this dyed moon season looks beautiful, it is easy to fade after a long time, and it also has a certain amount of pollution to the environment.
Therefore, when we buy roses, we should choose regular merchants and try to avoid dyeing roses.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think, please leave a message to discuss.
