Up until 40 years ago the only tropical flower one could find in any flower shop in the US - apart from Hawaii - was the Bird of Paradise. Sometime in 1972 more and more flowers from the tropics found their way into a small number of flower shops located in the Village area of NYC, as well as into a select number of florists in San Francisco. Flowers as ginger, heliconia, anthurium, orchids and proteas were becoming very popular amongst the gay community. Nowadays one can find tropical flowers in almost every store in the US, especially in the large cities. Yet, abundant as they have become, many flower consumers shy away from purchasing them. The most probable reason for this phenomenon is ignorance. In this article I shall attempt to argue on why flower buyers should re-think their position on tropical flowers.
New York City is the entry point for most tropical flowers and, if you happen to live in the city, you will be paying much less at most of the florists in NYC than a person living in other states.
Yet, no matter where one resides in the US, tropical flowers are still affordable.
Choosing tropical flowers for any occasion, especially weddings, may be the right way to go. These flowers are usually found in tropical climates and bloom all year-round. They are most popularly used for tropical themed weddings. More often, they are also arranged with other exotic flowers and foliage. During the summer months, when most weddings take place, tropical flowers are abundant and relatively inexpensive, especially large cities.
