tropical flowers

Rainforest garden beauties

Tropical flowers are flowering plants native to warm, humid regions near the equator—orchids, hibiscus, bird of paradise, plumeria, and similar species.

They're characterized by vivid colors, dramatic shapes, and exotic appearance.

The term appears in floristry, gardening, and travel contexts: The hotel lobby was filled with tropical flowers.

Many are used in leis and other ceremonial arrangements.
