***PLEASE NOTE*** We experienced some technical difficulties this week and we lost the first 5 minutes of this week's episode. But, other than that it is still a great episode with a great guest!
This week, Fernando was sick so Mike, Ryan, and Joel hosted this episode with our very special guest, Marco Beltran of Coxflor Farms in Mexico! Coxflor is a well-known family-owned and operated farm, famous for growing all types of flowers including lilies (Asiatic and Orientals), roses, gebera daisies, alstroemeria, tulips, and more. They are also known for their bouquets, rose globes, and flower gift options!
