Send Flowers to Mexico City, Mexico

Mexico City sits in a high valley at more than 2,200 metres, and its mild, spring-like weather is kind to cut flowers for most of the year. The capital is divided into sixteen alcaldías, and addresses matter here: a street name can repeat in several colonias, so the colonia and the five-digit postal code are what guide the florist to the right door in Polanco, Condesa, Roma Norte, Del Valle, Coyoacán or Santa Fe.

People who send flowers to Mexico City from abroad are often writing to parents in Narvarte or Lindavista, a partner working in an office tower on Paseo de la Reforma, or a friend studying at UNAM in the south of the city. Apartment buildings usually have a doorman or a guard, so include the interior number and the recipient's mobile phone. Flowers are part of daily life in the capital, from the stalls of the Mercado de Jamaica to the canal-side nurseries of Xochimilco.

Orders placed before 11:00 am local time are delivered the same day, Monday to Saturday; later orders go out the next day, and there is no Sunday delivery. Traffic is heavy and summer afternoons often bring rain, so a morning window written in the delivery instructions is a sensible request. For 10 May, Mother's Day in Mexico, book well ahead.
