Depending on what the client has for style and color choice, I think any of these, with a mixture of other flowers, would make a lovely and unique arrangement!

Our Anthuriums range from deepest reds into the lightest pinks, whites, greens, chocolates, peach into oranges and even somepurples. As for heliconias some small varieties may be used as fillers and the larger ones may be used for mass , form and lines. The range of colours are reds, pinks, oranges and golden yellows. Generally the shelf life ranges between 10-14 days. The flowers are great to work with lend themselves to grande and exotic floral masterpices.

I do love to design for showers, parties & holiday events. My clients seem to love Gerbera daisies & Alstromeria lilies for casual indoor & outdoor parties. So many colors to combine & they last a long time. Many blessings to all ! I don’t do weddings for a few reasons.

My customers are tired with birds of paradise and certainly don't respond well to any kind of protea - much to my chagrin... Oh, god... and don't even get me started on ginger! Don't get me wrong... I love working with tropicals... but I think their often rigid sort of nature makes them a pleasant challenge to work with. They give this opportunity to balance their exotic nature with their pliable foliage counterparts... I propose some of the frustration with tropicals is that it is so easy to become complacent with tropical design... I mean it's easy to just create a big dramatic line with odd groups and just be done with it and tempting to fall into that trap instead of pushing tropicals to be something more extraordinary.

I like bird of paradise as I can use this one as a image of a bird. I would say in, Anthurium also in as I noticed that they can be sprayed to match the theme. I remember that one of my client wanted large arrangements using Anthuriums. Pincushion would be out because the color and texture. Plus none of my clients have asked for these. Heliconia would be in as it add height with eye catching look. In northern India, we do not have these tropicals but they have always inspired me because of the unique colors, shape and size.
