Just a little insight into the Floral Industry.
Ecuador produces the majority of the roses that are sold in the US. With the current situation below, please be aware that availability is limited, and expect to see the prices increase slightly.
Hurricane Helene in Florida, (a major transportation hub that 80% of floral brought into to the US pass through) disrupted the distribution and we should be back on track in about another week and a half.

PSA - *Ecuador update*
29SEP24
Sharing with you what’s happening in Ecuador 🇪🇨 currently. Whilst we have lots of rain ☔️ we continue to experience a harsh summer with extremely hot temperatures we have never seen before and dry conditions that have affected the production in many farms. Yesterday fires broke out in some parts of Quito burning some parts of the farms and affecting the crops.
We are not certain when production will stabilize again, if the weather situation continues as it is, prices will continue to be high, and extremely limited production will be available.
Please inform customers about the current situation Ecuador is going through.
We appreciate your understanding to this devastating situation.
