What images come to mind when you think of your ideal tropical getaway? You may envision waterfront views, nightly sunsets; hammocks strung between palm trees – but don’t forget the flowers! In the tropics, the flora is unique and breathtakingly beautiful, a product of a balmy, humid climate with abundant rainfall. Here are some of the tropical flowers that we love to use to create seasonal bouquets.

Growing in the shape of an open heart and exhibiting a vibrant red hue is the anthurium, and its allure is so inviting that it has come to symbolize hospitality. With summer barbecues to attend, backyard parties to make an appearance at and family visits, there are plenty of opportunities to show your appreciation. The anthurium is a great way to say “thank you” while evoking a tropical summer vibe and adding color to the party!

You may not be able to go to paradise, but you can bring paradise to you.
