12 Days to V-Day: Tropical Flowers (Bonus!)

If you've been following the blog for the past few weeks, you know that we've been counting down every fifth day to Valentine's Day (V-Day) with a different flower color, its meaning and significance, and sample flowers that come in that color.

Today, we're tossing in a bonus post to kick off the twelfth day until V-Day, and we're covering tropical flowers, in all their unique glory.

Tropicals are the utmost in contemporary and modern, for the loved one in your love who is decidedly different from everybody else. Think high-style, chic, and unexpected. If you want to make a statement both sophisticated and exotically vibrant, choose a design that includes tropicals, or a design that is nothing but tropicals. Even tropical foliage comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns.

No one who receives a tropical arrangement for Valentine's Day (or any other occasion) will ever be bored studying the design!

When you think tropicals, think of these possibilities, in an array of colors:
