Send Flowers to Mao, Dominican Republic

Mao calls itself the Ciudad de los Bellos Atardeceres, the city of beautiful sunsets, and the evening light over the rice fields explains why. The capital of Valverde province lies in the northwest of the Dominican Republic, in the valley of the Yaque del Norte, where irrigation canals feed rice paddies and banana plantations that export organic fruit to Europe. The climate is hot and dry for most of the year.

It is a practical, hard-working town without much tourism, so nearly every bouquet that arrives is personal: a birthday, a new baby, a get-well wish, condolences for a neighbour. Florists deliver in the centre and the surrounding neighbourhoods, and in nearby Esperanza and Laguna Salada, sometimes on the following day. To send flowers to Mao on the same day, complete the order before 11:00 am local time between Monday and Saturday. Orders after the cut-off are delivered the next day, and Sundays are excluded. Morning deliveries avoid the worst of the afternoon heat.
