This year the lockdown hold up too long , Although the Ministry made a statement that the florists will remain their services from 10 am to 5 pm on the Mother ’s Day weekend , the twenty-four hour period after that and the former Clarence Shepard Day Jr. were closed , which consequently sham our marketplace a lot . Our grower were also pretend by this . They do n’t want to send flowers to the auction goods because the prices are too abject . They put in in cold warehousing rooms to sell at a later day of the month . We as an industry are receive a nifty financial loss .
We call for flowers and plant life from the raiser and sell them here by auction . Last year , 5 to 6 million stems of flowers were sold here in the week of Mother ’s Day alone . That volume is halve this twelvemonth . As the flower is a impertinent product , after a workweek it set out to decay and degenerate thus there should have been no restriction on the florists and agriculturalist during the lockdown .
Just like the white carnation is the most democratic for Teachers ' day and the red rise is for Valentine ’s Day , daisy is the most pet bloom of Mother ’s twenty-four hour period . "
