Ever been to the tropics? Want to go?

We here at Griffin’s Floral Design realize that’s a silly question—of course you want to go—but we think it’s one worth asking, just so we can point you to the flowers that will make you feel like you’re there right now. We know it’s a big claim, but we also realize that flowers have the remarkable ability to transport us to other destinations. They can recall the scents, colors and textures of another place, which can reconnect us to a milestone trip we took, or create a sense of worldliness in our homes. It’s entirely possible to “travel back” through flowers.

Consider our Tropical Vines, for example. This striking piece seems designed to evoke a fantastical landscape entirely unlike the one we find ourselves in here in Columbus. With its Bird of Paradise, sleek white roses and violet orchids, there’s something exotic and magical about this piece. It makes a statement, and that statement is full of character and interest. Even the glossy dark green leaves seem to promise something mysterious and intriguing.

If you’re traveling this summer, enjoy every second. But if you’re staying home? Don’t fret. You can create a feeling of adventure in your own space through flowers.
