In the tropics of Columbia, there is only one season. At the farms around Bogota, the temperate weather provides the ideal situation for growing and selling flowers. “We have the advantage of growing flowers year round.” These flowers are picked by women because they are attributed with treating flowers delicately and taking good care of them.

Columbia exports flowers all over the world with the strongest market in the U.S. These Columbian farms started working with FedEx about five years ago because FedEx guarantees fast delivery. “When you’re dealing with a live product, you want to make sure it gets to its destination as quickly as possible.”
