GEORGE TOWN: Beautiful imported blossoms such as tulips and lilies are cheaper now due to the strengthened ringgit, but there is little demand for them as there is currently no major festival.“Imagine getting fresh flowers by paying less for the same volume.
“A carton of imported flowers costs around 20% lower now compared with just a few months ago,” said florist Sharon Lim.
