Fun little fact: a big reason they avoid trying to handle the flowers is because the flower believes it’s being pollinated by a bee, so it then believes it can finally die. Same roses, same
Think of that. Flowers grow everywhere yet we have to fly millions of them wasting limited resources so that your loved one can throw them out next week. We humans are so wasteful 😰
Exactly what he said... "Thats business...thats money" If you think about it on the other end, look at how many workers get to feed their families 🥰 from the flower farms/harvesters, transport/airport, US feds, florists/stores/delivery workers. Thats a lot of mouths fed on valentine's day ❤🌹🌹🌹
Holiday created to combat the war on drugs. Coca growers were given grants to switch to flowers. Little did they know the cartels just grow flowers and cocaine now.
I will never understand the concept of giving flowers during Valentine's. I mean its lifespan is short, price tag is hefty, and in a couple of days, it will end up in the trash. Total bullshit! Leave the flowers alone! Let them live!
Lol i remember when I was a kid and I bought flowers for my mom on Mother Day. She was so mad at the fact that I wasted money on something useless when I could have spent it something else instead. Well, I ended up not having allowance for the month lol.
@@themilliondollarbaby My thoughts exactly! Flowers are useless as a present. They're only good to look at for a couple of days. Better to give something that would lasts and remind them of you.
For those wondering how amazing it smells to work with flowers, I worked in a flower shop for several months, and I could only smell the flowers when I first got into work, but after a couple minutes I got used to the smell and couldn't really smell it anymore unless I got super up close to the flower. You also have to remember that working with flowers means that you are working with a lot of green waste, such as stems that are being cut off of flowers or extra leaves that are being stripped, and that stuff STINKS. It decomposes really fast, and dealing with those trash cans at work are a nightmare.
I’ve worked with flowers as well until I open my own successful business. This is her experience . I constantly smell the flowers and not sure what she means about the greens/leaves being smelly. I do agree the trash deposits are not the best to empty.
Please look for local flowers or other alternatives. They might cost a bit more but they cost less in resources to ship flowers from another country to your state.
My mom used to work in a little factory where they made rose oil and rose water and everytime she came home from work I would hug her a bit more than usual cuz she smelled so good. Not too intense, just a nice smell of roses
I'm a former florist, working at the green house during valentines and mother's Day was intense. We did a week of over time and the last two days before Valentine's and mother's Day we would rock 16 hr days. Even going to auction was cut throat, people would get super heated and hundreds of thousands of dollars would be spent per hour.
@@eduardochavacano this is actual privilege. Imagine needing the perfect flower longth and flower that comes from a foreign 2nd/3rd world country instead of just picking whatever from ur country
Distance is a major factor for perishable products such as flowers and tulips... understanding the logistic process is key... congrats for this video, is great!
Those flowers are then bid on so if florists get a cheaper batch, you got the beat up withered batch. To get the best, buy from a florist you do business with regularly, pick flowers in person or go to a high end florist who caters to the affluent-they always get the best flowers because they're willing to pay higher wholesale prices(yes it will be more expensive for you but you get the best flowers that last the longest). Those mass online retailers will just send you dead flowers at their cheapest cost-take your money, smile and run.
I know so many people say that giving flowers on Valentine's day is a waste of material but I mean come on. Flowers are a sign of love they don't last long yet the memories of your crush giving you flowers is gonna linger in your mind until you grow old. If flowers can make good memories, then wouldn't it be best to enjoy those memories and cherish them instead of saying that the flowers just get thrown away? I never had a partner and yet I can understand that. Step your game up millennials
Now I see why roses are the most popular, they are less risky to carry plagues... yet they are more expensive than most flowers.... because they are imported. It makes sense now how they became the symbol of Valentine's day.

Look, your birthday is nothing special, nor is your anniversary, they're completely subjective, however humans lose easily the sense of time, that's why we love rituals And when everyone does similar things, we are more fulfilled with the activity since they are reinforced from society, and where thete is a social will, there is a monetization to be had Look, you may be angry that we are losing the true way of celebrating Saint valentines day, originally you had to pick the flowers yourself, however there is way more than a moneu grab which is mainly a secondary effect of the massivity of the holiday

Before the cargo delivery they were handled with caution and a lot of care. Then on customs inspection, whatever.🤣 can they do their job with a little bit caution? Now i know why all our orders are broken.😅
