Send Flowers to Bluefields, Nicaragua

Bluefields is the main town of Nicaragua's southern Caribbean coast, and it feels like a different country from the Pacific side. English Creole is heard as much as Spanish, reggae and calypso drift from wooden houses, and the Moravian church has been part of the town for generations. In May the whole community celebrates Palo de Mayo, the May Pole festival, with dancing in the streets.

The town sits on a lagoon, and the port of El Bluff and the Corn Islands are reached by boat. Many families have relatives working on cruise ships or living in the United States, and they send flowers to Bluefields for birthdays, church events and funerals. Same-day delivery, Monday to Saturday, applies to orders before 11:00 am local time, but because the coast is far from the main flower suppliers and very rainy, next-day delivery and substitutions of equal or higher value are sometimes necessary. Sundays are excluded.
