A Florasaurus expedition leads to rediscovery of numerous exotic floral varieties.
The discovery earlier this month of the Florasaurus - a life form long believed to be extinct - has led to the rediscovery of countless varieties of flora, particularly of the rose variety, which also believed to have long vanished. The discovery was made when a team of scientists proactively declared that an expedition was necessary to further investigate the history of the Florasaurus.
"This is incredible!" notes Rosita Vendela, a botanist deeply involved with the expedition research. "Most of us have never seen varieties like these before." Rosita explains that there are an immeasurable number of rose varieties that have been discovered particularly in the places where the Florasaurus would have conducted business. Varieties were well preserved and managed to survive under a composition of ash, soil and natural earthly elements during the harsh evolutionary period. This evolution had led to the demise of many flower shops that refused to rethink their strategies, which in turn resulted in the unfortunate fate of exotic rose varieties that have only recently been rediscovered.
Estelle Akito, a specialist in Floral Economics, adds that price pressure from competition and the commoditization of flowers in general may have led the Florasaurus to cut corners in their selection of the supplier food chain. She further states that the decision of the Florasaurus to focus on price may have sent a ripple effect in the food chain which claimed the lives of growers that nurtured the most exotic varieties in the world.
"If (the Florasaurus) had offered customers the opportunity to experience these exotic rose varieties instead of focusing their attention on price wars, we would have had the opportunity to be rewarded with a myriad of breathtaking varieties," Estelle concluded. "This unfortunate downward spiral which led to the demise of the entire industry has really hurt us, but it is possible that these exotic varieties may be revived by those who were proactive enough to be unique and overcome the threat of extinction."
The exotic floral varieties will be catalogued and prepared for display at the local museum.
