00:00With buckets full of freshly cut flowers,
00:04Red Roses took center stage at Australia's largest flower market on
00:08Thursday
00:09as local growers and florists prepared for their busiest and biggest day of the
00:14year,
00:14Valentine's Day. At the Sydney flower market,
00:18a singing barista serenaded lovestruck customers as local growers and florists
00:23gathered to buy and sell their finest blooms.
00:27Whatever will be, will be.
00:30The future's not ours to see.
00:34Michael Begala from Begala Bros Australia,
00:38a local grower, said he has prepared 65,000 stems of Red Roses for the
00:43special day.
00:44I think it's going to be a great year this year. Everyone's in a really good mood.
00:47I think there's a lot of love in the air. I don't know what's going on, but yeah, it's
00:50happening. It's definitely happening this year.
00:522025 seems to be a big year. Thank you. It's great. It's a Friday.
00:56I think it's going to be a big one. Despite the rising cost of living,
00:59which has impacted the flower industry through increased costs of water,
01:03fertilizer, and wages. But we're doing our best to try to keep
01:08as sharp as possible so that everyone can enjoy
01:11still buying a rose or a nice bouquet at a reasonable price.
01:16I think flowers, giving flowers at the end of the day, it's a special thing.
01:19It's an occasional thing and I think, you know what, they've got to spend that little
01:23bit extra to keep someone happy. Why not?
