There is no doubt there is a certain magic to living in a tropical – or sub tropical – climate, as we do here in South Florida. Not only do we get to enjoy the blue water and bluer skies, endless sunshine and balmy breezes, but even our plant life is unique. We have plants growing in our gardens and lining our walkways that others only dream of. And while we may not live on the islands, we certainly can evoke that feeling of carefree beauty, with the addition of beautiful tropical s.

Tropical s originate in places that are warm and sunny; and although tropical rain forests are legendary for their lush flora, rainfall is not one of the qualifying factors for a tropical climate. In fact, that diversity in the geography of these types of climates is vast, from the rainy forests to dry deserts. But the plant life found in all of these sun-kissed locales is truly special – exhibiting bold, vibrant colors, unique presentations and striking beauty! Right here in South Florida, we cultivate some of the more stunning of these plants – from birds of paradise to hibiscus. Other popular tropical blooms include the anthurium, red ginger, bromeliad and red ginger plants.

Orchids are also considered some of the most coveted of the exotic tropical plants. Found worldwide, the gorgeous orchid is grown in a full spectrum of colors and some of the rarest shapes and configurations. When you are relaxing on your back deck on a warm summer evening, there is simply nothing that sets a tropical mood more than an arrangement of these s, whose rare beauty and often intoxicating aroma can carry you away to the islands.

Come into Al’s Florist, and let us help you to create a tropical floral arrangement that will take you away.
