There are many nationalities who love flowers. Why does Germany play an important role among them?

Germany is a nation that loves flowers.

The International Horticultural Exhibition in Munich, Federal Republic of Germany, is actually a large garden filled with exotic flowers and plants. Colorful and fragrant. Among them, roses are the best among flowers. There are more than 20,000 roses in the garden, including 650 varieties, including 160 new varieties. There are not only rose gardens, but also Rose Hill and Rose Road. The courtyards, balconies, windowsills and streets of residents of the Federal Republic of Germany are also decorated with flowers, and more and more people love flowers. Among 23 million households, only 28% had small gardens in 1961. This number reached 52% in 1977, and it is estimated that this will rise to 82% in 2016. Today, 14 million of the country's 64 million people are amateur gardeners. Due to the increasing number of flower lovers, the flower market and flower service industry are also becoming more and more prosperous. Just walk down the street and you'll find a flower shop or stall selling bouquets. Many flower shops also sell seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, pots, and related tools. Flower shops also often deliver bouquets to customers' homes at their request. Ms. Ma Boichette, a flower research expert, has visited China many times and conducted extensive inspections and research on Chinese horticulture. She told reporters: About half of the existing flowers in the Federal Republic of Germany are originally from China. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Europeans brought many precious flowers and plants from China to Europe. After a long period of cultivation and development, they settled down in Europe and passed on the family lineage, and they are still prosperous to this day.
