Send Flowers to Manizales, Colombia

Manizales is the capital of Caldas, a steep city built on Andean ridges in the coffee region, with the Nevado del Ruiz volcano on the horizon. It is a university city with a famous cathedral and the Feria de Manizales in January. Manizaleños abroad send flowers to parents and grandparents for birthdays, Mother's Day and the loss of a loved one.

Mother's Day in Colombia falls on the second Sunday of May and dominates the flower calendar in Manizales. The Feria in early January is also a time of family visits where a bouquet is a welcome gift, and the Día del Padre in June is widely celebrated. When a relative dies, friends send flowers to the velación and the family holds nine days of prayers.

Order before midnight local time for next-day delivery in Manizales. The recipient's phone number is required: the florist calls ahead and rearranges if nobody answers. Roses, lilies, mixed bouquets and plants are generally available; in a hillside city some varieties may be substituted with a close equivalent.
