Colombia’s flower market meets with Valentine’s rush

Around 500 million cut Colombian flowers will have reached the U.S. market by Tuesday February 9, in order to meet with increased demand on Valentine’s Day.

A total of 30 flights have had to be scheduled daily to meet with the U.S. flower market boom.

Flights have left Bogotá’s El Dorado airport, and Rionegro close to the country’s second city of Medellín, destined for Miami where the flowers are then repacked and shipped across the country.

The flowers are shipped in boxes for freshness, containing up to 300 roses or 600 flowers depending on the variety.
