HAWAII TROPICAL FLOWERS Perfected In Paradise Gather the most exquisite flowers from the southern half of the globe, then plant them in paradise. The result is perfection -- Hawaii tropical flowers. And no wonder. Hawaii provides ideal growing conditions for these distinctive blossoms. The islands' sunny, mild climate offers consistent temperatures of 75 to 85 degrees each day, with cooling breezes at night. A generous annual rainfall of more than 100 inches, combined with the efficient drainage of porous, mineral-rich volcanic soil, enhances the strength and beauty of the exotic blooms. Through years of research, Hawaii's growers have improved upon nature to develop tropicals with superior shape, stem length and vase life. No other source can match the brilliant colors, extensive selection and exceptional service available year-round from America's 50th state. What could be more exquisite than flowers perfected in paradise?
