Just as I was preparing to go to Colombia next week to finally find out the status of the production, Luis Ernesto calmed my nerves, telling me that things are looking good: the first 10 beds of plants getting in production (some 200 flowers per week) in the second half of November and the other 30 beds at Valentine's.
Expected weekly production then: 800 TRUE. roses. For New York only we expect to need some 5 times this amount.
Well, we need to start somewhere and after such a long runway this will give us the quality take-off we have been waiting for.
Even more reassuring were the photos Luis Ernesto sent: a nice healthy crop and no blackening of the flowers at all!
