The Essence of the Mountains in Every Stem: Why We Name Our Specials After Mountains

At Urku Expressions, every stem tells a story. Beyond the beauty of flowers, we deliver the essence of our mountains—the majestic volcanoes and hills that define Ecuador’s breathtaking landscape. Our name, Urku, means “mountain” in Quechua, an indigenous language deeply rooted in Ecuadorian culture. It’s more than just a name; it’s a symbol of strength, majesty, and the natural connection we aim to share with our customers in every special bouquet we create.

1. Why the Name Urku?

Urku is not just a word; it’s a tribute to our roots. In Quechua, Urku signifies “mountain,” encapsulating the mission of our company: delivering more than flowers—offering a piece of Ecuador’s grandeur.

Ecuador’s identity is intertwined with its awe-inspiring mountains, which are both a source of cultural pride and natural beauty. By choosing this name, we honor the rich heritage of our land and highlight the connection between our blooms and the majestic Andes. Every order from Urku carries more than flowers—it carries a story, a connection to the vibrant heart of Ecuador.

2. The Mountains and Volcanoes of Ecuador

Ecuador is a land of towering mountains and breathtaking volcanoes, each with its own story. At Urku Expressions, these iconic natural wonders inspire the names of our specials.

  • Cotopaxi: One of the tallest active volcanoes in the world, known for its perfectly conical shape and snow-capped peak. It represents strength and elegance, just like our flowers.

  • Chimborazo: Ecuador’s highest mountain and the closest point on Earth to the sun. Its grandeur inspires us to pursue excellence in every bouquet.

  • Pichincha: Nestled near Quito, Ecuador’s capital, this mountain stands as a testament to centuries of history and embodies the harmony between urban life and nature.

Each special named after these mountains channels the power and beauty of the Ecuadorian Andes, allowing our customers to feel connected to these natural marvels.








3. The Connection Between Nature and Floriculture

The bond between Ecuador’s mountains and our flowers goes far beyond the names. The volcanic soil surrounding these peaks is rich in nutrients, creating the perfect environment to grow flowers of exceptional quality.

Thanks to this fertile land and the Andes’ unique climate, our blooms are vibrant, fresh, and long-lasting. Every petal tells a story of a harmonious ecosystem working together to bring out the best in nature.

With every delivery, we hope our customers feel the majesty of the Andes, the richness of our land, and the passion we pour into cultivating our flowers. At Urku, every bouquet is more than a gift—it’s an expression of the essence of our mountains.

"With every bouquet we send, we want our customers to experience something as unique as the mountains that inspire our work."
