Posted on: 13/Feb/2014 12:22:02 PM
Prices of flower have soared up on the occasion of Valentine�s Day. Roses in particular were already selling at Rs 25 or Rs 30 per rose (retail) and costing about Rs 200 and more for a 20-rose bundle wholesale, on Tuesday morning. Prices are expected to rise further come the eve of February 14 and Valentine�s Day.
With Valentine�s Day only two days away, sudden reversals in expectations are unlikely, but definitely not out of the question. According to wholesalers and florists both, demand for flowers is a very fickle thing. �It is possible that there will be a sudden spurt in demand on February 13, whatever the prices. But that can only be seen when it happens,� said flower wholesaler Mohan. And will supply be strained if that happens? �No,� he said, �we can order and receive sufficient supply from Bengaluru. Should the demand increase suddenly, supply will not be an issue.�
But flower sellers, from wholesalers to retailers, were all united in opinion on one front. However supply and demand equations should turn out this Thursday, roses will still cost a bomb
