When Hua Zhongyi started growing gladiolus bulbs in his veg-etable field,he never imagined that one day his initiative would become a huge industry worth 38.6 billion yuan($5.46 billion).It was in 1982 that Hua,who then worked at Chenggong District Bureau of Agriculture of Kunming City,Yunnan Province in southwest China,went to Foshan City in south China's Guangdong Province to buy gladioli seeds and grow them in his hometown in Dounan,a small town in Chenggong District.A few months later,his daughter was selling gladioli in downtown Kunming.
