李炎記花店 
Lee Yim Kee Flower Shop

李炎記成立於1954年，位於元朗舊墟南門口，最初主要經營筵席生意，但在1955年轉型製作花牌。至今，李炎記花店仍是全港少數仍然製作花牌的老店之一。

 

在50年代至80年代，花牌行業興盛，不論是節慶慶祝、廣告宣傳還是開張及紀念日，都能夠看到花牌的踪影。然而，隨著塑膠廣告燈箱的興起和管理公司市場策略的轉變，花牌生意和行業發展也受到了影響。

 

不過，近年來，李炎記花店積極發展室內花牌，希望讓更多市民了解花牌及其功能。同時，這也打破了傳統花牌場地空間限制和申請搭棚工程許可的困難。此外，花牌紮作技藝已於2014年被列入香港非物質文化遺產名錄。

Lee Yim Kee Shop was established in 1954 and is located at the south entrance of the Yuen Long old market. Initially, the shop mainly operated banquet business, but in 1955, it shifted its focus to making flower plaques. Today, Lee Yim Kee Flower Shop

is one of the few remaining old shops in Hong Kong that making flower plaques.

 

During the 1950s to 1980s, the flower plaque industry flourished, and flower plaques could be seen everywhere, whether in celebration of festivals, advertising and promotions, openings, or anniversaries. However, with the rise of plastic advertising lightboxes and changes in the marketing strategies of management companies, the flower plaque business and industry development have also been affected.

 

In recent years, Lee Yim Kee Flower Shop has actively developed indoor flower plaques, hoping to let more people understand the functions and significance of flower plaques. At the same time, this has also broken through the traditional limitations of space and difficulties in applying for construction permits for flower plaque setups. In addition, the flower board crafting technique was inscribed on the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong in 2014.
