The owner told reporters that although the maple leaf crown and sycamore leaf bouquets are very popular on the Internet, the flower shop does not sell it. "Someone also asked if you can help with the production. Although it is not difficult to make, it is time-consuming, so we didn't do it." The owner said that the flower shop does not sell maple leaf crowns and sycamore leaf bouquets. There is another reason, that is, the sycamore leaves and maple leaves in Nanjing have not changed color and fallen, so the leaves are more difficult to collect.
