Flowers for export in Costa Rica

[Danny Solano Alvarez]

Costa Rica is indeed a gifted place! Not only has a lot to offer tourists in terms of places of interest for they to visit and enjoy, but also because it has one of the most outrageous variety of diverse agricultural, and ornamental products. One of the reasons this takes place on this natured covered part of the world is because of its rich soils and plentiful bodies of water combined with the ideal environmental conditions of weather and climate which has converted Costa Rica into an agricultural country with many options for export, retail and wholesale of organic flowers that has made them so popular and, so far, a world demand.

Agricultures and people involved in the flower export business have become very serious on this process that once a flower is being exported, during the whole process, it will retain its own and unique essence.  Costa Rica’s flowers come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Let us show you a little bit more by describing some of our most endearing treasures from our very own nature’s catalogue:

 

Heliconia

Found in rainforests, Heliconias are widely cultivated as ornamental flowers. It is a herbaceous plant with a simple but unique picturesque leave in different shades of yellow, red and deep orange tones growing opposite one another on non-woody petioles often longer than the leaf.

Anthurium

This bright spathed statement flower comes in a variety of shades which might include green, white, dark pink, pale pink and red . They quite extravagant and will look very elegant in a bouquet and arrangements.  

Orchids

Costa Rica’s national flower comes in many colors including The most popular flower for most brides is the orchid.  Orchids come in many colors, including red, purple, fuchsia, white with yellow, white with purple, orange, green yellow, just to mention some. People have the tendency to think that due to its exuberant elegance and beauty, they may be quite expensive. Let me tell you they can be moderately too high priced, depending on season and availability.

 As you can see Costa Rica keeps surprising their tourists among its own natural gardens gifted with all its wonderful creations. Visit Costa Rica and see for yourself what we are here talking about!
