Flower care

Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day’s demand, sales and results ended up very good and satisfactory. Even though purchase prices were very high this year, final sales went reasonably smoothly. The general quality level of the flowers was good. Roses from the Netherlands were of excellent quality and the overseas imported roses only some minor quality problems have been showing up. The post Valentine’s cut flower market has been much quieter and slower, which is nothing abnormal, since the winter holidays took place during the last two weeks of February. On the other hand, severe winter weather came back with very low temperatures and loads of snow until in the very south of the country. Purchase prices became much lower; not so much for roses, highly demanded for the International woman’s Day in many other countries, but for many other products, especially the mini gerberas. At the end of the month it could be very well noticed that spring was in the air. The offered assortment really started changing, especially towards the so-called spring or bulb flowers, like tulips and daffodils.
