Flowers for Yuma, AZ

Come November, Yuma more than doubles in size. Snowbirds roll their RVs into the Foothills parks, the winter-lettuce fields go green across the valley floor, and a farm town in Arizona's far southwest corner turns into one of the busiest small markets in the state. That seasonal swing shapes how flowers move here. In the cool months a birthday arrangement might go to a winter-visitor resort off the 8; in summer it is more likely a get-well drop to Yuma Regional Medical Center on Avenue A or a sympathy piece for a longtime local family. Old Town and Main Street sit at the center in 85364, the Foothills stretch east through 85365 and 85367, and Somerton anchors the agricultural south in 85350. And because Yuma perches right on the California line but refuses to change its clocks, senders from across the river have to double-check the date before they trust the cutoff.
