These are added to the cultures for cut and decoration flowers, for indoor landscaping and those used for the production of seedlings, usually grown in green- houses, in a controlled environment, and sold for gardens and landscap- ing. According to MARD statistics, since 2012 a significant increase of flower cultivation areas was recorded both in the field, as well as in the protected areas. Significant productions were recorded in the counties of Ilfov, Alba, Dâmbovița, Maramureş, Pra- hova, Mureş, Dolj, Giurgiu, Călăraşi, Satu-Mare, Bacău and Iaşi. The most frequent types of flowers are carna- tions, chrysanthemums, roses and gerberas. In this issue of our magazine we’ve chosen for you examples of green houses and producers who have ded- icated their time to the floristic cul- ture.
