The Yamanashi Horticultural Market in Kofu City is actively trading carnations for gifts ahead of Mother's Day. Not only carnations but also hyangeas and roses are popular as gifts.
The transaction price is about 1% to 2% higher than last year. The "indication" of "Rin" is "禾" which means "mother" or "father" in Japanese. The price of the flowers is also higher than it was last year because of the high temperatures.
