Farmers sort flowers at a flower industry garden in Yi Autonomous County of Shilin, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Feb. 11, 2014. As the Valentine's Day and Chinese traditional lantern festival draw near, large quantities of fresh flowers were put into market in Yunnan, China's fresh flower production and export base. Currently, Yunnan turns out over seven billion flowers a year, yielding an output value exceeding 30 billion yuan (4.95 billion US dollars). (Xinhua/Lin Yiguang)
