Handle with Care
Yesterday, it rained all day throughout the sierras of Ecuador, in the flower growing areas to the north and south of Quito. It was quite cold and wet, and many people were declaring it to be the first day of winter. It was quite relief for many people, and a nice change to the blistering sun shine. However, today was hot and sunny again, although night fall witnessed some light drizzle.
The last significant shipment of roses was delivered to the airport last night, although the deliveries were slow in coming and quite large intervals between deliveries. The major orders had been completed by the farms, and the harvest is finally coming to an end.
So this is my last post to be actually written in Ecuador, although there are a few more posts to come, a post-script as it were. My days and nights have been long, and although my part in the chain is coming to an end, for many other people in the Mayesh wholesale chain the longs days are in progress, and then in turn the florists and designers will have long days until the capitulation of all our endeavors occurs with the advent of St. Valentine's Day.
This year the process seem s to have been quite smooth, given that there were many rumors about the weather in Colombia, and the early harvest in Ecuador. Probably there are effects to be felt from these occurrences, but nothing major. Flowers, as magnificent a creation as they are, are still delicate and need to be handle with care. Much like the love in our lives.
