POTOOOOOOOO

Clarified with a long reply on theirs. Feel free to ask any questions. It's an interesting industry.

Some are, sure. But a lot are imported due to growing seasons. It's not always practical to grow everything in a greenhouse. Water, lighting, and heating get expensive. You can't insulate a greenhouse well because thet means less light.

Flower shops get shipped long waxed boxes packed with flowers end to end in order to do flower arrangements. Some flowers are also really prone to mold and stem breakage.

For example alstromaria, carnations, mums, ferns, baby's breath, saladago, and salal all have great shelf life. Stay for 2 weeks to 3 months in a cooler.

But plants such as lilly of the valley have a short growing season. Gerbera Daisy is so fragile and actually are shipped with plastic straws.

There really isn't a good way to bypass it. Flowers only grow when a plant is mature enough to produce seeds. From a gardening perspective it takes about 95-110 days for a tomato to go from seed to flowering/fruit. So every flower in your arrangement takes 3 months of planning from the seed.

Nope. Someone else asked that too.

I don't think there will be an industry hit harder than flower shops.

Most flowers tend to be imported. People also value food and rent over flowers. So their costs go up, sales go down.

I double down and ask friends to swap pants with me.

I'd like to urinate from my thumbs at will.

Exactly.

I don't want to eat the grass though.

Not sure what you are talking about exactly. I'm stating this from the perspective of a gardener and forager.

Tldr Mint is invasive.
