Orchids are the easiest and most versatile flowers you can work with. Unlike most of the tropical flowers, they spread out and gracefully arch to fill a vase in each direction.  Arranging orchid stems is as easy as simply cutting the stem's base and placing in the vase.  Orchids last well and ship the best of all the tropicals.

Anthuriums are similar to the orchids in that they are easy flowers to arrange and will fill a vase in every direction or facing front only.  However, anthuriums last longer than orchids and come in a huge variety of colors, shapes and sizes from candy pinks, pure whites, greens, every shade of pastel, and light to deep reds.  Anthuriums may be arranged by themselves, with a small amount of foliage, or combined with any other tropical.  They are particularly striking with orchid stems or the smaller heliconias for a very tropical bouquet.

Birds of Paradise & Ginger
 

Birds of Paradise and ginger are mid-sized staples of tropical bouquets.  They need to be bound together, or supported in some way in larger vases and may bruise smaller flowers.  Birds  of Paradise are often thought of as the symbol of tropical flowers.  They are a medium-sized exotic bloom that will instantly evoke palm trees, but will not last longer than a week.  Red  and pink ginger lasts a few days longer and is a hardier splash of bright color.

Large to small, heliconia look like the flower from another planet.  The largest are best for floor arrangements or very large table displays.  Use as a focal point and be ready to support the heavy stems in place.  The medium-sized heliconia are more versatile and may be used to add to the impact of a larger heliconia, or mixed in with birds of paradise, ginger, groups of heliconia, or used as a focal point in a mid-sized arrangement.  The smaller heliconia add strong touches of color and height to any arrangement or style, even hand-held bouquets.
