Middle Eastern tensions raise domestic carnation prices, prompting flower shops to adapt

Middle Eastern tensions are impacting carnation prices, leading to higher costs for domestic flowers due to reduced imports. A Kagoshima flower shop is experiencing increased prices for domestic carnations because of import shortages. They are now also stocking Chinese carnations to offer more affordable options. The shop is adapting by offering various arrangements and highlighting flowers with positive meanings, like the purple 'Moon Dust' carnation, to help customers express gratitude on Mother's Day without excessive cost.
