According to a recent report, China's flower industry is already picking up, despite the havoc wrought on the country's economy by the coronavirus. Floral Daily reports that the number of businesses — and flower markets in particular — reopening increases daily; the number of shoppers is also up.

Savio Ma, Chief representative for grower Armada China, says, "Since the beginning of March, the borders opened — except for Wuhan — which enabled flower markets to open their doors too. Many are now still relying on online buying, but the number of visitors to these markets is increasing as well," according to the report. "For the coming three months, our orders are at about 80% of what they were last year during this time."
