Flowers with Bulbs

Flowers with bulbs have recently gained popularity in Japan. Despite having bulbs, they bloom only once, with a lifespan of about two weeks. However, they last longer than cut flowers and are easier to care for. Unfortunately, their production period is currently limited, running only from mid-January to mid-February. In Toyama, which accounts for 70% of the production, sales have increased tenfold in the past five years.

最近日本で流行っているのが球根付きの花。球根が付いていても1回咲いたら終わりで、寿命は2週間ほどだが切り花より長く楽しめるし、手入れも簡単だそうだ。残念なことに今現在は生産の時期が限られていて1月中旬から2月中旬だけ。生産の7割を占める富山では売り上げが5年で10倍に。
