AbstractWith one of the farmers' initiative to grow flowers in Dounan, a small village in a suburb of Kunming, capital city of Yunnan, fourteen years ago, flowers are grown on half of the village's 187 hectares of farmland nowadays, and every family has moved into a new house. Dounan's success has inspired farmers across Yunnan, a province that boasts ideal weather conditions and rich plant resources.
