The flower business at Koyambedu market is back up and running after facing difficulties due to the heavy rains and resultant flooding. The market was a spectacle of colour and fragrances. There was no business during the floods. We were throwing away flowers. Now things are back to normal, says a seller.
Samandhi and white samandhi flowers that are used during the Sabarimala pilgrimage are back in supply. Says a seller, Samandhi has arrived this season in large quantity, and is priced at Rs 150 per kg. People use it for adorning their temples and is particularly in demand during the Sabarimala season. White samandhi is being sold at Rs. 100 per kg. They were sold at Rs. 20 per kg during the rains.
Roses are available between Rs. 150 and Rs. 200 per kg. Jyadhi flowers are sold as high as Rs. 900 per kg, but are in high demand. During the rains jasmine was sold as high as Rs. 1200 per kg. Says another seller, This is another reason why people aren`t hesitant to buy jyadhi. Plants of this flower were completely washed out during rains. Many buyers thronging the market were reluctant to buy flowers at the high rates being quoted.
