Answer:

the demand for flowers is considered to be inelastic. This means that as the price of flowers increases, the quantity demanded will not decrease as much as the price has risen. In other words, even if incomes fall and people have less money to spend, they may still be willing to buy flowers, but may just buy less of them. This is in contrast to elastic demand, where the quantity demanded changes more than proportionately as the price changes.
