Walking into Shengli Village, there are colorful flowers in a row of sheds on the road near the village. Red, yellow, orange, pink and other flowers decorate the whole greenhouse with colorful colors. It is Yu Qiguo who is watering these flowers. Yu Qiguo, who runs a florist in Mingguang City, has been dealing with flowers for more than a decade. In the past, florist Yu Qiguo bought flowers from other places with high costs. Yu Qiguo, who loves to ponder, sprouted the idea of planting flowers. Through study, Yu Qiguo gradually explored the technology of growing flowers. In March this year, he returned to the village and invested more than 100,000 yuan to plant more than 10 mu of gerbera.

It is understood that these sunflower-shaped flowers are called African chrysanthemum, also known as Fulang flowers. African chrysanthemum is beautiful and elegant, giving people a warm and peaceful meaning. when getting married, people often like to use African chrysanthemum in bouquets to decorate wedding cars and new houses. As long as the temperature is suitable, African chrysanthemums can blossom all the year round, and the economic benefits are considerable. Yu Qiguo told reporters that now his gerbera can be picked once every two days on average, 5000 pieces can be picked at a time, and his annual income is more than 100,000 yuan.

Yu Qiguo said in his introduction that at present, these flowers are mainly sold to Shanghai and Zhejiang, and the market is very good, and demand exceeds supply. At the same time, we also need to use it locally. We also collected a batch this morning, basically once every two days.

Talking about the next step of development, Yu Qiguo said that he also needs to expand the planting area, broaden the variety of flowers, drive the surrounding people to plant together, and lead everyone to create wealth together.
