A very wide and deep assortment of flowers and plants is available though the FloraHolland auction clocks on a daily basis. Every day, 39 auction clocks are in operation at FloraHolland centers. This means 125,000 auction transactions every day. In other words, 12 billion cut flowers and over half a million plants a year.
