has just opened a floriculture auction house to<br />
better serve neighboring countries. Transportation<br />
logistics and economic considerations<br />
may increase the number of regionally located<br />
facilities. However, a new trend that may affect<br />
future marketing of foliage plants is the use of<br />
direct sales via images transmitted on the internet<br />
from the foliage grower’s greenhouse. <strong>The</strong><br />
effects of new technology will continue to alter<br />
past production and sales practices.<br />
