About Tropical Flowers

There is a long list of tropical flowers available from around the world. In this blog post, we will just introduce you to a couple of the varieties and share some interesting facts about these tropical flowers.

The first tropical flower that is a favorite in our Albuquerque florist shop is the bird of paradise. Here are some interesting facts on this tropical flower:

• The name comes from the shape of the flower, which resembles a bird’s beak and plumage. Some say the flower also looks like a bird in flight.
• These flowers are also known as crane flowers.
• They are a native of South Africa.
• Birds of Paradise bloom from September to May.
• Typically, these flowers are bound together in a tropical flower bouquet because they can bruise the other, more delicate flowers in the flower arrangement.
• They have a limited lifespan of no longer than a week.

The second tropical flower is the cymbidium orchid, another staff favorite! You may not know much about this orchid so we have provided some facts below:

• This orchid does well in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the Mediterranean or even California.
