What is a tropical flower?
The words “exotic” and “tropical” are sometimes used interchangeably, but it’s important to know the difference!
Exotic flowers are not native to certain regions. For example, amaryllis flowers are native to south and central America and therefore considered exotic in other regions of the world. In other words, the term “exotic” is used to describe a flower that is foreign and is not naturally found in a certain place.
Tropical flowers, on the other hand, are flowers that bloom in a tropical (warmer) climate. For example, African Moon flowers are considered “tropical” because they natively grow in Namibia, a country in Africa. The tropical region of the world generally refers to places on or close to the equator.
