So, I’ve been messing around with this whole flower thing in Ecuador, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. I’m no expert, but I figured I’d share what I’ve been up to.
First off, I started digging into what kinds of flowers they’re big on down there. Turns out, roses are the real deal in Ecuador. They export like 60 different types, can you believe it? I saw names like First Red, Classi, and Madame Del Bar for the red ones, and Allsmer Gold and Skyline for the yellow. They even grow pink and purple ones like Anna Nubia and Ravel. But they’re not just about roses. I found out they also cultivate carnations, lilies, and something called gypsophila, whatever that is. Seems like they’ve got something for everyone.
Shopping Around
Next, I decided to check out some flower shops, virtually of course, since I’m not actually in Ecuador. There’s this one, daFlores, that promises the freshest bouquets. Another one, FlowerAdvisor, talks about how reliable they are for sending flowers, whether it’s for love, a celebration, or even sending condolences. Then there’s one that claims to be the most important flower shop in the whole country. It is really a big deal.
Getting Flowers to Ecuador
I was curious about how to actually send flowers there. I found a bunch of places that do it. You can send roses, tulips, carnations, you name it. And it’s not just flowers – some places let you send chocolates and other gifts too. You can pay with Paypal or a credit card, so that seems easy enough.
The Business Side
Then I stumbled upon something called Fresflor. They’re like a middleman, connecting flower farms in Ecuador and Colombia with buyers all over the world. They sound pretty serious, and they operate out of this place called the Fresflor building. I guess it’s a big deal down there.
Wrapping It Up
So, that’s been my little adventure into the world of flowers in Ecuador. I started by researching the types of flowers, then I looked into flower shops, then I explored how to send flowers, and finally, I learned a bit about the business side of things. It’s been interesting, to say the least. I’m not sure if I’ll ever actually send flowers to Ecuador, but at least now I know a little bit more about it.
