A visit to EC Flowers, accompanied by its Co-Founder Ralph Baquero, was an inspiring and memorable experience. From the outset, it was clear that EC Flowers is not just a supplier of flowers to florists and floral designers worldwide. The company’s procurement approach is characterized by a commitment to quality, sensitivity to the needs of its clients, and a dedication to excellence in every aspect of its operations.
A Visionary Company
For over a decade, Ralph Baquero has been dedicated to building a company that understands the true essence of flowers. Flowers are not just products; they are messages, a language, and an emotional experience. Ralph’s attention to detail was evident in every decision he made, from curating the floral portfolio to packaging and coordinating orders for clients in different countries with diverse needs.
Close Partnerships with Farms
I had the privilege of accompanying Ralph on several visits to his partner farms across Latin America. Ralph maintains a close working relationship with these farms, visiting them regularly to gain firsthand knowledge of the crops, anticipate specific needs, and select the best flowers for each client. This level of involvement not only demonstrates Ralph’s personal presence and genuine leadership but also reflects a deep understanding of the global floral market.
Thoughtful Selection and Packaging
One of the most revealing aspects of the visit was witnessing the flower selection and packaging processes. These processes are not merely technical; they are carefully thought out with logic, practicality, and aesthetics in mind. Every box is assembled to meet high-quality standards, offering diversity and novelty that align with current trends. This thoughtful approach not only makes the work of floral designers easier but also supports them from the source, providing access to a rich and reliable floral palette.
Global Reach with Strong Roots
EC Flowers, an Ecuadorian company, primarily supplies florists and designers in the United States, the UK, and Canada, while also expanding to other strategic destinations. The company has earned a prominent place in the international floral industry. Beyond its global reach, what truly stands out is how EC Flowers operates—with professionalism and a big heart.
Supporting Florists and Designers
As a floral designer, I deeply appreciate companies that understand not only the product but also the realities, rhythms, and demands of those who work with flowers daily. During the visit, I felt a strong connection to the vision of EC Flowers. Their operations go far beyond mere commercial transactions. Knowing that there are companies that support the needs of floral designers so precisely, even in complex and diverse orders, is incredibly reassuring.
Exceptional Service
EC Flowers’ service, which delivers flowers of exceptional quality and variety to our studios and workspaces, also delivers trust, commitment, and clarity. This kind of support allows designers to create from a freer, more secure place.
A True Ally in Floristry
Thank you, EC Flowers, for demonstrating that a company working with sensitivity, vision, and consistency can become a true ally for those who seek to inspire with every flower. EC Flowers fulfills the promise of every design we dream of bringing to life.
