Here is a taste of the tropics from my garden in South Florida, USA
The orangey Large leaf in the back of the arrangement is a Aechmea Bromeliad “Blanchetiana’ – this particular Bromeliad is available in Lemon, Orange and Raspberry colors, the plant is about 5′ x 5′ with a flower comparable in size. The fern is Boston Fern which is native to my area and grows wild in my garden. The red flowers are Heliconia psittacorum – there are a numerous cultivars and this is an unnamed cross, I think! The white flowers are a branch of my Bridalveil Plumeria, Plumeria pudica, which is evergreen but not particularly scented.
