【沪江标准VOA】2月17日：情人节快递送花忙(1)

There is a scent in the air at Miami International Airport. It’s the fragrance of roses, carnations and other flowers arriving from Latin America for the Valentine's Day holiday. With much of the country gripped by the cold of winter, florists in the United States look to farmers south of the border to the meet intense demand ahead of the February 14th holiday.

For the shipping operations of FedEx in Miami, it is the busiest time of year. FedEx and other shipping companies must move quickly and carefully, to ensure the flowers survive their journey. Michael Connor is senior manager of the FedEx operation at the airport.

"What we do here in Miami is we have a cooler that we maintain between 38 and 40 degrees so we can help those shippers maintain the life of those flowers."

Boxes arrive in Miami from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, as well Holland, and then travel by plane or by refrigerated truck to the rest of the United States.
