Roses for $1.00

Our maid bought these beautiful roses in packets of 24 roses for 2,ooo pesos. That is about $1.00. She bought three packets, so we had 72 roses for about $3.00. We had roses in many rooms. This month they are higher in price because it is the month of Love like our Valentine's Day. We will just got with another kind of flower this week.

Flowers are exported to US


We have a book on Colombia that says 60% of the flowers imported to the US come from Colombia. They come in all colors and many, many different kinds. We try to keep fresh flowers in our condo at all times. When we arrived in the mission the retiring mission president's wife gave me a bouquet of fresh flowers. I thought, How nice, and when I got to the condo I found that I had nine other bouquets of fresh flowers in our condo.
