Desiccated flowers from Quirino a hit in China expo

NANNING, CHINA: Who would have thought that Philippine “roses” would be a hit at the 10th China-Association of Southeast Asian Nations Expo (CAExpo)?

The “flowers,” made of dried leaves, come in different sizes and a variety of colors. They are sold by Emilia Fernandez, who manned her booth by herself, having flown to Nanning without a companion.
