Recommendations for sending flowers to Bogota? Fontibon?

I want to send flowers from USA to friends. Is there a local service in Bogota or Fontibon? If I do use an international website, do I use Fontibon or Bogota as the city?

if you use it as a city put Bogota because Fontibon is an area of Bogota

At Bogota Guest house we offer rooms with limited service while still offering free Internet and International phone calls to several countries.

Also, in January (hopefully) our Colombia Farm Vacations location will be open. This of course depends on our construction crew here in Colombia. Details at: www.ColombiaFarmVacations.com

On Sept 17, 2008: Senator John McCain said, as he had many times before, that he believed the fundamentals of the economy were "strong."Hours later he backpedaled, explaining that he had meant that American workers were Strong.

Mario,


WOW, I'm surprised to hear you had a problem with www.flowerstocolombia.com.

I've been using Flowers to Colombia for a couple years to send flowers and gifts to my boyfriend in Colombia and the service has always been excellent. They also have a rental business and I stay there when I travel to Bogota.

I would definitely report any problems to the owner.

There's still an opportunity for someone to sell Colombian grown, export quality flowers, IN COLOMBIA for less than Gringo prices.

I look at the site Mario listed, or La Tienda de Las Rosas and a bunch of others. They're all $50 USD or higher for two dozen roses. With the exception of Valentine's Day or Mother's Day in the U.S., that's no bargain.

GOOD LUCK WITH INGRID, she was the owner of the now defunked marriage ageny www.ladiesfromcolombia, before closing she left without completing some fiance visas for several guys, one guy I know personally so I know it's not a lot of bull.

Mario,

I also did what you suggested, during my last visit to bogota I found a florist near my girlfriends house, they don't take credit cards so I just left a couple hundred dollars and I call them when I need a delivery, so far so good.

Well, well, well, what a small world. Positives and negatives about Ingrid are mentioned in this thread and the same goes for the flower business owned by Bob Summers. If I recall the Colombian gossip correctly, he had a falling out with her after he sold her part of his empire, and then took it back or bought it back or something...
