Some flower owners are so business minded that they require payment before anyone can take photos of their display flowers. It is not expensive. Sometimes they just ask for 20 pesos (less than $0.50) so it is not a big deal. I just don't like the idea of paying when I can have it for free somewhere else. 😂

The owner of the orchid house that you visited has a very good marketing mindset. They use others to advertise their products and they see that as an opportunity. Others have different mindset. If you share on social media, they think you will be the only one to benefit from it and not them. They should think like that orchid owner. 😊
