February 23- Today we all went to FloraHolland, the largest flower auction in the world. First of all, the flower auction was not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting a giant greenhouse building but instead it was a giant warehouse. I thought the whole system and way things worked was pretty cool. Everyone had a job to do and everyone was doing their job. There were a ton of workers driving little carts around pulling carts full of flowers.
The main area looked like mass chaos watching from above. The flower carts were then put on a track that leads into the flower auction area. The auction rooms were huge and filled with people buying large amount of flowers.
The carts of different flowers slowly entered and exited the auction room giving buyers enough time to purchase whatever type of flower desired. (This can be seen in the picture above) The auctioning process was fun to watch, especially watching the projector screens where the different prices and amount of flowers left remaining changed frequently.
Even though I am a guy and don't really care for flowers that much, the flower auction was a lot of fun. Overall, the flower auction was an enjoyable experience.
