What are some tropical flowers?

Tropical flowers never fail to impress, thanks to their striking hues and exotic shapes. These gorgeous wildflowers are a sight to behold, boasting brilliant colors and unique patterns. Among our collection of tropical flowers, we carry Peruvian lilies, calla lilies, birds of paradise and multicolored orchid flower arrangements. No matter who you’re shopping for, you can have peace of mind while browsing our catalog. Our many orchid arrangements come in beautiful shades of pink, purple and yellow to match the sunshiny brightness of any tropical destination.

Where do tropical and exotic flowers originate?

Tropical flowers and exotic flowers tend to be grouped together or labeled interchangeably, but there is a significant difference between the two! Tropical flowers are flowers that bloom in warm, tropical climates. Hot spot areas for tropical flowers like Hawaii, Namibia and Fiji are all fertile grounds for tropical flora. Exotic flowers, on the other hand, are flowers that are not native to a particular region. For example, finding a wild lily in northeastern America is incredibly unlikely since they are native to tropical forests, grasslands and marshes closer to the equator. Fortunately, with FTD, our international delivery service brings a number of exotic blossoms to your front doorstep!

What are some uses for tropical flowers?

Tropical flowers have been used as beautiful decor for centuries. Transform a mixed flower bouquet into a colorful lei for a graduation ceremony. A single stem from a lily arrangement makes for a pretty hair accessory when placed behind the ear. Extracted aromas from exotic flower arrangements can be used as therapeutic aromatherapy fragrances to soothe the senses. Count on FTD for your tropical and exotic flower delivery!
