Phalaenopsis Disposable Orchids
Last month I was in Hong Kong on holidays, visiting my eldest son who works there. As usual I visited the Flower Market in Mongkok to see the phalaenopsis on sale there. Phalaenopsis are in great demand there for the Chinese New Year (Feb 14 - 15 -( see last year's post on feng shui orchids ).A whole block of florist shops and roadside-vendors were selling tons of phalaenopsis.This year the quality of the phals was outstanding.
I was shocked to discover that people who bought the phals only only used them to decorate their homes and would discard them after the New Year when the flowers have faded and dropped!!!!. And the phals were really inexpensive about US $ 6-7 for the quality the blooms.
I am posting photos of the phals. Would you throw away these phals????:
