At present, the city's total flower production area has reached 70,000 mu, including 50,000 mu of protected flowers, 20,000 mu of bare fresh cut flowers and Asian lily and gladiolus bulbs.

The number of farmers engaged in flower production and management in the city has reached 20,000, with nearly 30,000 people. This alone has promoted the average income of growers to be more than 24,000 yuan, and the per capita income has been more than 13,000 yuan. There are more than 500 flower brokers in the city, and more than 150 sales outlets have been established throughout the country. By signing a flower transportation agreement with Air China International Travel Company in Beijing, fresh cut flowers are transported to all parts of the country on the same day by fast and convenient transportation. The products are sold to major cities in China except Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu, and some of them are exported to Russia, Japan, the Middle East and other countries and regions. Lingyuan city's flower industry has become the largest bulbous flower gladiolus in China, the largest bulbous flower breeding base in Asia and the largest bulbous fresh cut flower production base in the north. It enjoys the reputation of "Yunnan in the south, Lingyuan in the north" and "Northern Flower" in China's flower industry, and was awarded "the first county (city) of China Lily" by the bulbous flower branch of China Horticultural Society in May 2012.
