FloraFlora.com has partnered with one of the largest flower growers to offer its customers flowers that are direct from the farms. Flowers are hand-harvested daily by expert workers who select only the best blooms. Harvesting takes place in the early morning hours when the cool mountain air freely flows into the plateaus and valleys. This phenomenon prevents stem dehydration. Once cut, flowers are quickly moved inside where they are packed and cooled to their optimum traveling temperature. The cool temperature at which the flowers leave the farm is preserved until we ship your order. Our ability to ship to you directly from our farms coupled with our expeditious \"cold chain\" process guarantees your flowers are the freshest available.
