On January 28th, the "Hospitality Shandong Good Products Shandong" Peony Theme Promotion Activity was held in Guangzhou. The reporter learned at the promotion that about 150,000 pots of Heze peonies would appear in the Guangzhou Spring Festival Flower Market around the 25th day of the last lunar month (about February 4th). Guangdong and Shandong use flowers and culture as a medium to launch the cultural tourism promotion of "Hospitality Shandong, Delicacy Guangdong".
One is the capital of peony, the other is the city of flowers in four seasons, although Heze in Shandong and Guangzhou in Guangdong are separated by thousands of miles, the two places have long been in friendship for flowers. According to reports, since ancient times, Heze has had a tradition of "heading for Guangdong" to accelerate the ripening of flowers. Tens of thousands of Heze peonies welcomed their "second flower season" in Guangzhou. In 1789, the first peony flowers bloomed on the European continent was the Heze peony introduced by Guangzhou. The economic and trade exchanges between the two places have a long history.
In recent years, with the development of transportation and flower ripening technology, there has been an increasing number of flower ripening practitioners, and flower ripening has become an earning for many flower farmers. Xu Xiufa, the manager of Guangzhou Dexin Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., had a deep understanding of this. Xu, who is from Heze, Shandong, has been engaged in peony sales and the promotion of planting technology in the flower industry in Guangzhou for 20 years.
"In Heze, there are many villagers engaged in peony cultivation, operation, and sales. Peony has become a major industry for rural revitalization. Guangzhou is known as the City of Flowers and is also an economically developed city. More and more people love peony flowers now. I hope to promote the peony flowers from my hometown in the south of Guangdong."
Tao Fuzhan, director of the Peony Development Service Center in Heze, said that Guangzhou is an international comprehensive transportation hub reaching various parts of the world. Therefore, Heze flower farmers like to come to Guangzhou to promote and sell flowers. "This year, about 150,000 pots of Heze peonies will be showcased in the Guangzhou Spring Festival Flower Market around the 25th day of the last lunar month (about February 4th). We hope that Heze peonies can be welcomed by more Guangzhou residents and bring fragrance to the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon."

15萬盆菏澤牡丹即將亮相廣州年宵花市場！
巨幅工筆牡丹畫【盛世中華】、曹縣江米人【牡丹仙子】、牡丹刻瓷、牡丹花蕊茶……1月28日，「好客山東 好品山東」牡丹主題推介會在廣州舉行。記者在推介會上獲悉，今年大約有15萬盆菏澤牡丹於農歷臘月二十五前後亮相廣州年宵花市場。廣東、山東兩地以花為橋，以文化為媒，打響「好客山東，好吃廣東」文旅宣傳。
一座是牡丹之都，一座是四季花城，山東菏澤與廣東廣州雖相隔千裏，但兩地早已因花結緣、情誼相融。據介紹，自古以來，菏澤就有「下廣」催花的傳統，數以萬計的菏澤牡丹在廣州獲得「第二青春」。1789年，歐洲大陸開出的第一批牡丹花，正是經廣州引種的菏澤牡丹，兩地的經貿交流淵源深厚。
近年來，隨著交通的發展和催花技術的進步，催花從業人員越來越多，催花已經成為廣大花農的致富路。廣州德鑫農業發展有限公司經理徐修法對此深有感觸。徐修法是山東菏澤人，在廣州從事牡丹銷售、種植技術推廣等相關花卉苗木產業20年。
「在菏澤，從事牡丹種植、經行銷售的村民眾多，牡丹已成為富民強村和助力鄉村振興的大產業。廣州是花城，更是經濟發達城市，市民對牡丹花的喜愛程度越來越高，我希望能在南粵大地將來自我家鄉的牡丹花宣傳好。」
菏澤市牡丹發展服務中心主任陶福占表示，廣州是國際綜合交通樞紐，從這裏可以放射線到世界各地，因此菏澤花農都喜歡到廣州催花、賣花。「今年將有約15萬盆菏澤牡丹在農歷臘月二十五前後亮相廣州年宵花市場，希望菏澤牡丹能走進更多廣州市民家裏，飄香龍年春節。」
