Out of curiosity, we checked the price online to send a simple bouquet to our moms in the States for Mother's Day and the prices ranged from $40 and up. This year, we purchased roses for all of the mothers in the church here in Ecuador. We bought 25 long-stem fresh cut roses for $5, which was higher than usual because of the holiday. Roses from Ecuador are exported all over the world. An Israeli company based in the country has used technology to perfect the hybrid seeds and greenhouse growing.
