Foreword
The vast array of sizes, textures, shapes and colors of Colombia`s tropical flowers and foliage are an important complement to all of the other flower varieties offered by the world´s foremost fresh flower grower-exporter.
This is the first industry cataloque that showcases Colombia tropical flowers and follage.it was developed through the endeavors of a dedicated group of entreprenaurial growers,members of the Association of Colombian Flowers Exporters` (Asocolflores) Midwestern Chapter, and with the
support of the Colombian Ministry of Agriculture. The goal of this catalogue is to showcase for international buyers the more than 120 varieties of tropical flowers and follage currently being grown un the Cauca Valley and the Coffee Growing Regions of Colombia: Risaralda, Caldas and Quindio.
The tropical flowers of Colombia stand apart from those in other growing communities not only because of their eye catching beauty and varietal diversity, but for their renowned quality. The rich volcanic soil they take seed in, the lush valleys where they are grown and bloom, ample water resources and abundant bright tropical
sunlight all contribute to creating a truly special flower recognized by buyers and consumers, allowing Colombian tropical flowers to again increasing market share in the international marketplace.
We hope you enjoy this catalogue of our beatiful tropicals and foliage, further proof that Colombia truly is the Land of Flowers.
