harvesting: The gathering of a ripened crop

Once the roses are cut, they are coming come in here to be sorted and that’s what I’m doing. Basically they are sorted by stem length.

And once that happens, they get moved over to the packing area, and they are packed in sort of careful carefully wrapped in cardboards so you have a line of five blooms, the cardboard folds over, another five blooms, that’s one pack. All are really carefully protected.

Eighty percent of farm farm's roses are sold back into the city at the Kunming International Flower Flora Auction Trading Center, one of the biggest auctions in Asia.

Flora means all the plant life of a given place or time. So, I'm afraid that I don't think so.

This is where wholesalers go to buy large quantities of flowers at cheap prices.

This is the main flower auction in Yunnan, and flowers from all over the province will come here.

There are about a hundred different varieties and as it gets closer to Chinese New Year, the pace just picks up exponentially.
