Vicente Amador Flor Cedeño (July 19, 1903 - December 3, 1975) was an Ecuadorian poet known for his poems about his native city Portoviejo.
His parents were Efrén Flor Guerrero and Julia María Cedeño de Flor. He attended the colegio "Olmedo" (Olmedo high school) but dropped out before graduating.
Flor had six children with his wife Clorinda Sacoto.[1]
The central park of Portoviejo has borne his name since October 30, 1981, and many educational institutions in Ecuador bear his name.[2][3] A bust statue of Flor was placed in the central park of Portoviejo in 1983.[4]
