When you send an exotic flower delivery, you are sending someone a gift that is just a little different. There is a great variety of exotic flowers to choose from for any occasion. Probably, one of the most well known exotics is the orchid, and though lovely, there are many others to choose from which are equally beautiful, if not more so.
Bird Of Paradise, Pink Ginger, Anthuriums, and Protea are just a few which come to mind. Most of the exotic flowers are grown in the Hawaiian Islands. These flowers thrive in the rich soil of the volcanic landscape of the islands. Each island in Hawaii claims a different exotic as its official flower. The Big Island’s flower is the Red Ohia, Maui has the Pink Lokelani, Kauai’s takes the Mokihana as the official flower, (which is not a flower at all but a plant which has a green berry. The Yellow Llima has been chosen by the Oahu islands, Molokai boasts of their White Kukui Blossoms, and even Kahoolaw, an island with no population, claims the Hinahina as the official flower choice. Some of the flowers mentioned above are on an endangered species list for Hawaiian flowers, which are found in the wild. The Yellow Hibiscus, a native to the dry land parts of Hawaii, is no longer found in the wild, but grown by licensed nurseries.
Tropical arrangements last longer than other flowers, possibly as long as two weeks longer, and a good Hawaiian florist will guarantee their bouquets. Exotic flowers make wonderful gifts for any occasion, and weddings use many of these long lasting tropical beauties. The choices are never-ending for beautiful floral arrangements.
Local or mainland florists usually carry a small selection of exotics, but for a wide variety of choices order on line from a reputable Hawaiian florist. The flowers are custom packed for safe delivery to the address of your choice. Prices of these exotic bouquets range from just under fifty dollars to over one hundred dollars, which usually includes delivery charges. If you decide to send a lei instead of a bouquet the cost is much less, approximately in the twenty dollar to fifty dollar range. The florist usually has the right to delay the sending of orders, if the mainland destination is experiencing temporary inclement weather.
There may be a small added charge during the winter months for added insulation to keep your flowers safe and beautiful for their delivery. Remember, the next time you need a special gift for any occasion, order an exotic flower arrangement or lei from an on-line Hawaiian florist. The gift will be a big hit with the recipient, and you will never be forgotten due to your exotic and thoughtful gift.
