At that time, Fang Chin-tsai and a few friends from the Pingtung College of Agriculture, saw that Puli had a stable climate, and was located in the mountains, so that in a drive of half an hour you could go from 500meters above sea level to 1000 or 2000 meters. These conditions were excellent for planting a variety of flowers, so they brought the horticulture business to Puli.
當年，方進財和幾位屏東農專的同學因看中埔里氣候穩定，而且地處山區，在半小時的車程內可以從海拔五百公尺直上到一、二千公尺處，利於多種類的花卉經營，而將種花產業引進埔里。
