[quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of flowers that are bought in the US are grown in Colombia, South America.  Some are grown in Europe.  Flowers from Colombia and Europe are shipped in
big lots on planes.

Yes, Colombia is a poor country.  Colombia is generously
helping folks from Venezuela.  Venezuela is currently undergoing the collapse of socialism.  Venezuelan pregnant women walk miles to cross to the Colombian border to give birth in Colombian hospitals.
Death rates to babies and mothers born in Venezuela are some of the highest in the world. The Venezuelan mothers walk miles to give their babies a chance to survive the birth process.

I've worked in Bogota.  Believe me the Colombian farmers would rather sell and ship flowers, bananas and coffee to us than go hungry.

PS.  Do you eat bananas? Do you drink coffee?  Most of the bananas and coffee the US imports also comes from Colombia.

Colombia is a very key country right now because millions of Venezuelans have made there way to Colombia and the Colombian free market economy, while poor, is providing support to the Venezuelans who have left due to the collapse of socialism in Venezuela.

PS.  Much of the produce you get in Giant right now is flown in from South America.
