In Foshan, Guangdong, the beautiful butterfly orchids are flying from the fields to the global market. A merchant specializing in butterfly orchid cultivation and wholesale told reporters that the butterfly orchids they shipped that afternoon could arrive in Vietnam within 24 hours. During the interview, it was learned that in recent years, the planting technology of domestically-produced butterfly orchids has become increasingly mature and the variety continues to be updated. In the overseas market, some popular products even experience shortages. From thousands of households in China to the shelves of overseas markets, the flower industry in China is booming, and the "flower economy" has formed a market size of hundreds of billions.
