Blumentourismus?

 Loosely translated to English, it's 'flower tourism'.

Last night, I was watching German news and the Premier President (governor) of Baden-Wurttemberg came on....hyped-up and negative of course....that various residents of the SW state of Germany were getting into their cars and driving into the Pfalz state or Bavaria....to shop for flowers (their home improvement shops are open, unlike Baden-Wurttemberg's shops).

This is part of the Covid-19 issue.....various ban-rules are made up by individual states.  

He has a point.....some residents are driving 90 minutes to cross some state border, and with all the fine weather of the past week (extremely spring-like)....folks are in the planting state of mind.

The pressure is on this guy....to unhook some of the ban rules before his state's landscape shops lose a ton of business.
