GÜINES, July 4 (José Izquierdo, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org)
- Flower shop administrators in Güines, a town south of Havana, issued a
directive rationing floral arrangements to two per funeral, saying there is no
money to buy flowers from private producers.
These private growers have become the main suppliers of flowers to the
government flower shop since the government producers became unable to fulfill
the demand.
"Only the street sellers have enough flowers, so customers buy flowers
from them to make their own arrangements," said local resident Virgilio
Marante, who had been unable to find flowers at the flower shop.
Marante complained that the government flower shop is not only inefficient,
but it also charges 25 pesos for arrangements of lower quality than those made
by private sellers.
