The Los Angeles Flower Market has been in operation since the 1920's. Originally a place for local farmers to sell their products, now it's the center of a multi-billion dollar global industry.

Flower wholesalers connect farmers worldwide with florist shops around the country. The warehouses take up two city blocks near downtown L.A.'s Skid Row. Inside, are rows of individual stalls, most of which are small family-owned businesses.

The Sanchez family has run one of those businesses for decades. Hear how they keep up with long hours, a risky industry, and changing trends.
