Marigolds

The seemingly endless new varieties of hybrid marigolds apparently delight the florist more than the marigold buyer. The planter doesn’t seem to notice all the differences offered.

The Inca Gold however, the new hybrid, with double blooms, produced by Goldsmith of California is a winner in that this plant sprouts a larger flower and is based on a sturdier hedge like plant.

Intelligent Greenhouses

Change in technology is forcing Holland’s flower growers to change the way they do business.High-tech, computers and the global network has impacted small business in Holland.

In order to compete, the once small businesses have to adopt technologies and global networking to compete in the greenhouse market.  The greenhouses must employ the high-tech standards of robotic tools, crop-mapping and nano technology as well as the company offices using computers and high-tech communications, and the www to stay in business.

Tulips

In that the Dutch have bred tulips for over four hundred years, it is no wonder the Dutch rule the Tulip market.Over four and quarter billion tulip bulbs are produced each year in Holland, about half are grown for cut flowers. Of these, half are exported to Europe, the US, Canada and Japan, and half sold in Holland.

Some tulip entrepreneurs have stared doing some business outside of Holland but leave enough of their business in Holland to be called Dutch flower semigrants.

New Breed-Cut Roses

These beautiful roses are like no others and took almost a decade and a half to come to fruition.  These elegant, wonderfully amazing roses are the pride of David Austin, who won Gold at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show for these beauties he created.

 

 

 

These roses come in three varieties:  Juliet, Miranda and Rosalind and are now must haves at weddings and even adorn a place in bride’s magazines.  Juliet has petals of creamy apricot and a light fragrance of tea.  Rosalind comes in pale pink with a whiff of lilac scent and Miranda offers different shades of pink petals and a fruity fragrance.

New Tech for Flowers

Innovative technology has changed the flower industry.  Using new technologies, new flower species, hybrids,  and varieties are constantly coming to market, and the new high-tech impact of communications between wholesaler  and retailer allowed the industry to boom, and services between the two dramatically changed for the better.

Communications, the backbone of any business, is sometimes 24/7 between wholesaler and retailer.  Computers, of course, made this happen.  And those who chose to ignore the new technologies are simply left behind.  Both sellers would not be able to keep up with inventory if not using computers.  The sheer varieties of flowers are just too many to remember and tab.

The geographical resources for the flower supplier  and buyer are endless with computers and the worldwide web.
