GEORGE TOWN: Fresh blooms are synonymous with Valentine’s Day as people show their affection for each other, and this year was no different despite the movement control order.
Florist Beatrice Lam says she had been busy assembling pre-ordered bouquets.
“I did not expect business to be good this year.
“Usually when Valentine’s Day falls on a weekend or during the Chinese New Year break, there are fewer orders as people like to send bouquets to offices to surprise their partner.
