　　“2020年，疫情突袭。花农们一度担心，花不好卖了，许多花农把花平价卖出，结果蝴蝶兰年廿五、廿六就差不多卖完了。”金宏勇告诉记者，随着疫情防控常态化，万顷园艺也在持续转型，特别是2021年上半年，园区不断引入花卉头部直播机构进行直播。“我们也一改往年把主要精力放在年花销售节点的做法，2021年9月起，园区就趁着教师节等节点进行销售直播，刚开始每天直播4个小时，蝴蝶兰供不应求，后来只好减少直播时间。”如今，春节已经不是蝴蝶兰唯一的热销季。母亲节、教师节等节庆对蝴蝶兰销售的拉动不可小觑。

　　佛山三水云东海大道的三水区绿聚隆花卉种苗有限公司今年兰花销售形势也飘红。绿聚隆花场负责人卫女士表示，今年销情同比去年约有两成增长。

　　南海狮山： 不少客人“落田”买桃花

　　正月将近，迎着暖阳，南海区狮山镇近千亩桃花正徐徐绽放。狮山官窑是广东知名的“桃花之乡”，有40多年的桃花种植历史，以桃花数量大、颜色艳著称，曾是省内最大的桃花生产和出口基地。“每年春节，这里的桃花畅销珠三角，甚至远销港澳地区及东南亚各国。”狮山镇沙水村委会农业干部区宇声介绍，疫情防控下，今年桃花外销几乎已停摆，但国内销售市场随着春节临近升温，不少客人驱车专门来狮山买桃花。

　　据悉，今年沙水村桃花种植面积约200亩，比往年的300亩缩减约1/3，按每亩种植桃花180-200株计算，桃花总量也由去年的六七万株，减为约4万株。

　　区宇声认为，目前沙水村种植桃花约70户，大部分都是六七十岁的本地老花农，体力不继；另外因为总体销售情况未如理想，故花农都缩减了种植数量。“单株桃花的价格，今年下降一两成。”区宇声建议，“落田”买桃花比在花市买更优惠、也更新鲜、品质更佳。“免却运输周转，桃花看起也会更艳些。”他以单株1.5-1.8米的桃花为例，在市区花市通常都要在200元以上，田头交易100多元就可以，近年来都有不少来自佛山甚至珠三角的客人专程驱车来沙水村买桃花。
