Summer is here, and things are heating up. Not only does this time of year exhibit higher temperatures, but there is an intangible excitement, an attitude that is a little more fiery than usual. We even see the difference in summer tropical flowers – they have a little extra heat and exotic beauty. If you love flowers to decorate but are looking for something a little more unique than the ordinary – be sure to visit Ah Sam Florist. Our collection of tropicals is sure to bring the temperature up a notch.

A Burst of Color: From vibrant red to sunset orange, the colors of tropical flowers are amazing. Use these arrangements to infuse a bit of excitement into any home of office. 

Red ginger grows in Malaysia, Hawaii. Trinidad and Martinique, making it a truly exotic floral element. Red anthurium are native to Central and South America and are also known as a Flamingo Flower. Pin Cushion protea are native to Africa, and are some of the most uniquely beautiful flowers in existence. Put the three of them together, and you’ve got an arrangement that just speaks of adventure! Our floral designers are happy to create a custom arrangement with these, as well as other exotic tropical flowers such as Birds-of-Paradise, heliconia, and the amazing orchid.

In fact, although orchids are a bit more recognizable than some of their tropical counterparts, there is no denying their exquisite beauty which stands alone in the floral world. There are four major types of orchids we use to design arrangements – cymbidium, dendrobium, phaleanopsis, and mokara – but all are gorgeous. Just ask us to show you the difference, we will be happy to teach you what you need to know about these beautiful blooms.
