Imagine your feet in the warm sand, lounging under a palm tree with beautiful clear blue water as far as you can see.

Tropical destinations are fantastic vacation spots for a reason. The tropics boast some of the most consistently beautiful weather, and lush scenery you won’t find anywhere else.

While Alaska can certainly claim gorgeous landscapes, the tropical ecosystem is one which we have no access to – unless, of course, you visit Anchorage’s favorite florist and bring home striking tropical flowers that will bring paradise right into your home.

Birds of Paradise

Although we are thousands of miles from that part of the world, and many of us will not have the opportunity to head south this season – there is no reason that you cannot add some exotic beauty in your life.

Florals and greenery from the tropical regions are bold and unique in their appearance. One of the most prolific emblems of the tropics is the coveted Bird of Paradise.

This bloom makes a striking statement in any bouquet; the bright orange, purple, and green that it showcases will transform your space with vivid color. Birds of Paradise are symbolic of joyfulness. In all seasons, including summer, we love to celebrate the carefree fun and long, happy days.

With the kids out of school and bright sunny days ahead, tropical arrangements are the perfect accent.

Orchids and More

The simple addition of tropical flowers – like the orchid, anthurium, and iris – bring an island vibe to any gathering, at home or in the workplace.

If you want a more subtle nod to the warmer climates, consider adding a container garden that features the sophisticated bromeliad plant. With spiky green leaves and vibrant hues, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the rain forest.

Call Bagoy’s Florist & Home to bring the tropics to your Anchorage home this summer.

Everyone loves a vacation with our visual getaways.
