Send Flowers to Morelia, Mexico

Built almost entirely of pink cantera stone, the centre of Morelia is one of the most beautiful colonial ensembles in Mexico and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The twin towers of the cathedral, the long aqueduct and the arcaded plazas give the capital of Michoacán a calm, old-world feel, and its universities keep it young.

Michoacán is the heartland of the Day of the Dead. On the nights of 1 and 2 November, families around nearby Lake Pátzcuaro cover graves with marigolds and candles, and in Morelia itself homes, schools and plazas build altars. Emigration from this state to the United States has been strong for generations, so many of the people who send flowers to Morelia are writing from California, Illinois or Texas to parents and grandparents. Deliveries go to the centre, to residential areas such as Chapultepec, and to hospitals and campuses. Order before 11:00 am local time for same-day delivery, Monday to Saturday. Later orders arrive the next day, and there are no Sunday deliveries.
