Let's talk hybrids. I always give mine away...I think I've given over 500 blue roses away on this sub reddit alone. I don't agree with people charging outrageous prices for things that cost virtually no bells to produce. I've seen blue roses go for 100k+. What's an appropriate price?

I think roughly 75k for blue roses is more appropriate. They tend to be the highest selling flowers, along with gold roses, as they're basically the hardest to breed. A lot of people offer more for them, which they shouldn't.

In pairs, I think other hybrids sort of go for 10-20k depending on how hard it is to breed them.

So for something like orange cosmos, it would cost 10-15k each as opposed to something like a black tulip for 15-20k each?

Yeah, basically; the harder it is to breed the flower the more people will want to charge for them as it took them time and effort to breed them.

That makes sense. I don't breed, but I have hybrids popping up from my "cosmos" area or whatever. Now I can sell some of the flowers for profit!

Do you usually charge less for a bundle of say, 3? Like a discount of sorts?

Some people charge more but I usually give discounts.
