A member of the Cut Flowers Association and local floriculture farmer, Veronica Lou, says she will showcase her varieties at the annual flower show in Port Moresby in May.

She says that she is set for the event showdown with spectacular and unique flowers that she grew in her backyard.

The 44 year old said, like other mothers who have the passion and love for flowers, this has inspired her to grow her own.

Lou added that it all started back in 2014 at the University of Papua New Guinea’s Botanical Garden when she was introduced to varieties of flowers while visiting there. With her inspiration and love for flowers, she began to grow flower cuttings in pots.

She said despite moving from home to home, she carried the flowers with her until she moved over to Malolo Estate.

Lou was introduced to the Cut Flowers Association in 2014 by a friend and later registered as an active member of the association.

Like other flower growers who will be showcasing their flowers during the annual flower show, hers could have the upper hand because of their quality.

She had been involved in the floriculture business for almost two years, and with the revenue obtained from selling flowers, she was able to financially support her family.
