Another great place to see Fujian's most beautiful flowers was the flower trade show held at the SM shopping mall in Jinjiang, Quanzhou city, from Jan 14 to 18. Florists from around Fujian province displayed their best offerings, including native orchids. Sadly, this year’s event has already finished, but the show should be back again next winter.
