Others like flowers because they think different flowers mean different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean “love” and sunflowers mean “loyalty”(忠诚). So people in more than 100 countries have chosen their own national flowers which say something about their countries spirit. In 1994, China talked about choosing a national flower. Some people liked the peony（牡丹）but others liked the plum blossom（梅花）. They couldnt agree with each other. So it has not been decided yet. People like to buy different flowers in different seasons. Where do all the beautiful flowers in shops come from? They may come from far away, so their price is higher.a. Farmers grow flowers in their fields.b.
